Here I am Alive but dead inside With this lie They tear me down Then lift me up I'm here God damn Watching time turn with the sand Silent god By your wounds they make me stand Wake me up drag me out Brake the chains that hold me bound This sad illusion is the cause of this cry In this wasted paradise There's a snake in paradise There are snakes in paradise Don't go waisting all your life
There are snakes in paradise Hear me wind Adrift I stand in sin Lion's den When I fell you took me in There's a snake in paradise There are snakes in paradise Don't go waisting all your life There are snakes in paradise Wake them up drag them out Break the chains that hold them bound The sad illusion is the cause of their cry In this wasted paradise
