Eyedea, Abilities - Paradise lyrics

What a beautiful world
So fragile and fertile
Pain filled the void, when boy met girl
He's a puppet to nature, one year later now
So deeply and sickly in love
It makes him hate her
The average romanticized American
Relationship sinks
Capsized when either side becomes
A slave to it
Conditioned, dependent, afraid to be alone
He needs that feeling that he can't
Create all on his own
He despises the fact she has
A life outside of them
It drives him crazy to think she's
Not insanely consumed with him
Give her the guilt trip
And maybe she'll quit living to
Stay behind his prison walls
And lose all individualism


Well this is happiness, masochistic torture
Plagued by the decadent
Craved for affection
The needle digs deep to push
Contentment through his bloodstream
It drowned out - hollow
The pothole of a junkie
If he could only hear her sing
He wouldn't wanna break her wings
But emptiness has such a warm subtle sting
She makes up for what he lacks - trapped
He can't imagine life without
Someone like that

We’ve rediscovered the long
Lost art of dying
Only the lonely resent angels for flying
Twisted, living off eachother's sickness
Like parasites this is paradise
We’ve rediscovered the long
Lost art of dying
Only the lonely resent angels for flying
Addicted, afraid to take control
Of my own life this is paradise

What a beautiful world, emotionally destroyed
Her became plural when girl met boy
Between several breakups and plenty relapses
Routine read comfort led
To serious attachment
Now every once in a while
She forgets to breathe
Terrified of losing'em, paradise is misery
Too much faith in the lifesaving
Knight in shining armour
Now what knight's noticing - the scar
She can't hide any longer
But they were her story way before he was
It's gross hope to think that he
Would heal such deep cuts
At first it felt so right but
After one too many fights
He turned out that hallway light and
All the wonder turned to spite
So they sleep in the same bed
With guns to eachother's heads
Dead the romance
Boiling the blood that painted roses red
Suffering from post-honeymoon's disease
Leeched to his whole existence
She'll die if he decides to leave
Addicted to the way she feels
When they spend time together
Detouring the now in a childish
Attempt to find forever
Despite the fact they hold
Eachother heart-to heart
You can't be that close to somebody
Without being so far apart


Silence is is the most obscure
Sound I've ever heard
Those lonely giant spaces in
Between your every word
And maybe I'm totally crazy for holdin on
But just cause I'm insane don't
Mean that I'm wrong
Now that she's gone I can't sleep at night
I barely even function right
My memory's on overdrive
Too hungry and too cold to cry
Miss the companionship I once
Took for granted
The way you helped me manage
The partnership that vanished
But, I don't expect you to
Stay chained by the ankle
There's so much world to see, so
Fly free my angel
I'm dying without you but it's
Teaching me to live
Heaven ain't something someone else can give
- it's all inside of me

There's so much world to see
What's stopping me from flying free?
There's so much world to see
That's stopping you from flying free?

Repeat until end

Just be quiet and go to sleep i can’t sleep
Why not? I’m in pain
What? I got a broken heart, man
Bullshit i do
What happened? I was set up
Double-crossed betrayed by the woman I love
Who, mom? No!
Vera who’s Vera?
I don’t want to talk about it suit yourself
You wanna see a picture of her?
Wow, she’s pretty
I would’ve done anything for her sorry
I just can’t understand it
You’ll get over it
No, Dennis, I will not get over it
Yes, you will dennis, I love this woman
You’ve loved other women not like Vera
Vera was special
Believe me, you’ll get over it
Yeah, you’re right tomorrow
I’ll get over it tomorrow now go to sleep
But, I’m not gonna fall in love anymore fine
Women don’t want you to love them tomorrow
I’m not gonna fall in love with her
That will show her
