Paradise

There's an old, empty house that sits on top of a hill
The windows are shackled, the air is thin
Once you're inside the walls close in
We grew up alone, we grew up too fast
In that house, it's sink or swim
When you fight to survive, you quickly learn that
Everybody wants something

I, oh I changed my name
I'd run and I'd run and
I'd hide in a secret place
They'd never, they'd never find it
Not for the weak-minded
Show me all your scars, I'll be dеlighted
Don't you know that I turned my back on grace
And rulе darkened paradise

(Run and I'd run and I'd hide)

Just down the hall
Broke down kids and we bound to fall (yeah)
Never woulda thought I would astound you all
I thought I hid back deep 'til I found it all
I gotta long list of my problems (problems)
Pack a day, tryna solve 'em (solve 'em)
Gotta dark past, I got dark thoughts
So I pop pills to dissolve 'em

Tryna find a house that I call home
I remember how it felt, I was all lone
Ya talking to myself in a cell phone
Ringing I been calling out for help been in hell long (too long)
Uh, met the devil, I paid the price
Found God but no slave to Christ
Blind before but I see the light
I bought a one-way ticket into paradise

I, oh I changed my name
I'd run and I'd run and
I'd hide in a secret place
They'd never, they'd never find it
Not for the weak-minded
Show me all your scars. I'll be dеlighted
Don't you know that I turned my back on grace
And rulе darkened paradise

(Run and I'd run and I'd hide)

I've heard time heals everything
That broken-down house got a new coat of paint
I still feel it everywhere
The walls closing in, that unbreathable air
Are they so different, your house and mine?
Both have their secrets buried inside
When we grow up, we all fight to survive
Everybody wants something

(Run and I'd run and I'd hide)
