A Forgotten Paradise Lyrics

Why'd you ever call out my name? Why'd you ever put on my first Band-Aid? Why'd you ever tell me that I made you proud every day? I see that you have found what you want. The more I see you happy the more I'm not. When you're buried underground people tend to forget you're even there. A wisecrack, I can't pronounce that right off the tip of my tongue. You domesticated me in a clear bottle full of my blood. Stop pretending... Stop repeating... It's hard to stay strong. Your bones feel so alone... I see that you were working a job. Now I see your retirement's my flaw. It's hard to lose a friend over something you had no control of. Forgiveness swarms around in my head. There's a paradise within and it seems so dead. Who knows if there's a white bird to win. Stop pretending you don't need this. Stop repeating her pale face. It's hard to stay strong. When you die your bones feel so alone. There's so much to live for. But sometimes the world may sting. Oh there's a torn in my hollow chest and I almost feel it
