lyrics

"Paradise is Misery"

Haven't made headway in over a fucking month,
and I still can't find my way cuz I am
just a waste and a punk.
You can find me in hell with the bastards and drunks, yes you can find me in hell rotting
with all of the bastards and the motherfucking drunks.
fuck.
They said that hope floats, but my ship has been sunk.
They said to hold on to all of my dreams, but no one informed me that nothing
nothing is what it seems.
They said to hold fast, but nothing good fucking lasts.
They said that hope floats, but no one
told me that I would be drowning by twenty-five when all of my life I thought I'd thrive.
(I would thrive)
God, was I wrong.
Over and over I'm at it again, dissecting decisions and counting my sins.
Silent as sirens in storms as they sing, I'm holding on to nothing.
Anchors away- I am food for the sharks, I'm tired of searching for day in the dark.
I'm tired of searching for what I'll never find.
There's a light between oceans, but I'm fucking blind.

Oh.
I'm falling faster than I ever thought I would.
And I'm sinking farther than I ever thought I could.
Forever faithful towards the fucking fate to which I'm bound.
And I'm grateful that I'm not scared to drown...
So, wrap this anchor around my feet,
and I will dive into the sea.
Because paradise is misery, this paradise is misery.
Wrap this anchor around my feet,
and I will dive into the sea.
Because paradise is misery, this paradise is misery.

Over and over I am at it again, I am dissecting my decisions
and counting all my fucking sins.
Silent as sirens in storms as they fucking sing,
I am holding on to nothing because I am nothing.
Anchors away- I am food for the sharks.
I am tired of searching for day in the dark.
I am tired of searching for what my soul wont ever find,
There is a light between these oceans but I am blind.
Blind.
