Paradise Queen (September 9th, 2021) [I See]
I see (I see)
You're the paradise queen (Paradise queen)
I don't wanna dive in too deep (Dive in too deep)
Tell me I'm in your dreams (I'm in your dreams)
I see
You're the paradise queen (You're my queen)
Help me find out my dreams (Find my)
'Til I dive in too deep (Dive in too deep)
Now my eyes are glazed over (Glazed over)
Obedient dog, you're my owner (Owner)
Help me live it sober (Live it sober)
I'm tired of dreaming that I'm still just a loner
Finding myself is so draining (Draining)
I'm tired of being so tired (Tired)
I told you that I'm not self-sustaining (Sustaining)
Dancing in fire to be admired
How have you not seen that I need closure?
Your "support" is more like torture (Torture)
Twist my life until it suits you
I'll make it through what all you put me through (Put me through)
Don't you claim I'm being selfish
Knock me down as I climb out the trenches
Locked inside of this hell (This hell)
Laugh at me as I fell (Fell)
I see (I see)
You're the paradise queen (Paradise queen)
I don't wanna dive in too deep (Dive in too deep)
Tell me I'm in your dreams (I'm in your dreams)
I see
You're the paradise queen (You're my queen)
Help me find out my dreams (Find my)
'Til I dive in too deep (Dive in too deep)
In this culture, we celebrate boys through the lexicon of violence
"You're killin' it", "you're makin' a killin"
"Smash 'em", "blow 'em up"
"You went into that game guns blazing"
And I think it's worth it to ask the question
"What happens to our men and boys
When the only way they can valuate themselves
Is through the lexicon of death and destruction?"
And I think when they see themselves only worthwhile
When they are capable of destroying things
It's inevitable
That we arrive at a masculinity that is toxic
You're the paradise queen (Paradise queen)
I don't wanna dive in too deep (Dive in too deep)
Tell me I'm in your dreams (I'm in your dreams)
I see
You're the paradise queen (You're my queen)
Help me find out my dreams (Find my)
'Til I dive in too deep (Dive in too deep)
Now my eyes are glazed over (Glazed over)
Obedient dog, you're my owner (Owner)
Help me live it sober (Live it sober)
I'm tired of dreaming that I'm still just a loner
Finding myself is so draining (Draining)
I'm tired of being so tired (Tired)
I told you that I'm not self-sustaining (Sustaining)
Dancing in fire to be admired
How have you not seen that I need closure?
Your "support" is more like torture (Torture)
Twist my life until it suits you
I'll make it through what all you put me through (Put me through)
Don't you claim I'm being selfish
Knock me down as I climb out the trenches
Locked inside of this hell (This hell)
Laugh at me as I fell (Fell)
I see (I see)
You're the paradise queen (Paradise queen)
I don't wanna dive in too deep (Dive in too deep)
Tell me I'm in your dreams (I'm in your dreams)
I see
You're the paradise queen (You're my queen)
Help me find out my dreams (Find my)
'Til I dive in too deep (Dive in too deep)
