Paradise I

Our home we can't deny 

Has shed her tear for sin 

Eternal days that call your name 

Are lost into the wind 

​ 

It's getting hard to breathe 

And harder to think 

Of where we could be by now 

​ 

But we should be dead 

This time around 

We should be dead this time around 

​ 

Oh no, oh yeah 

Welcome to Paradise 

Here's your Paradise 

​ 

Another trip around the sun 

Watch the forest recede 

Displacing the many souls 

That were here before you and me 

​ 

It's getting hard to breathe 

And harder to wonder 

Where we could be by now 

​ 

But we should be dead 

This time around 

We should be dead this time around 

​ 

Oh no, oh yeah 

Welcome to Paradise 

Here's your Paradise 

​ 

Smoke has filled the toxic air 

For 91 long days 

All I need is some reprieve 

From our reckless ways 

​ 

Can't you see all the loss 

Is heedless and it's cold 

There's a place down below 

For your very soul 

​ 

It's getting hard to breathe 

And harder to think 

Of where we could be by now 

​ 

But we should be dead 

This time around 

We should be dead this time around 

​ 

Oh no, oh yeah 

Welcome to Paradise 

Here's your Paradise 

 

This is your Paradise 

This is your Paradise, oh yeah 

Oh no, welcome to Paradise 

Here's your Paradise
