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
