Let me paint a picture for you then I'll have to teach you to see it
|
Illustrate the remnants of the life I used to live here in Eden
|
Rolled a lucky pair of dice, ended up paradise
|
Landed on a snake's eyes, took a bite and ended up bleeding
|
|
You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
|
The truth is all those angels started acting the same
|
And I know there's no going back now cause
|
Life in Eden
|
Life in Eden changed
|
No way to make the pain play fair
|
It doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there
|
So when they ask why'd she go you can say cause
|
Life in Eden
|
Life in Eden changed
|
Life in Eden changed
|
|
Walking in the garden was a serpent-shaped heart and he told me
|
That what is broken cannot show, and less than beautiful is worse than unholy
|
Idolized my innocence, stole it from me in the end
|
Now I'm wide awakened and still paying for the poison they sold me
|
|
You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
|
The truth is all those angels started acting the same
|
And I know there's no going back now cause
|
Life in Eden
|
Life in Eden changed
|
No way to make the pain play fair
|
It doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there
|
So when they ask why'd she go you can say cause
|
Life in Eden
|
Life in Eden changed
|
Life in Eden changed
|
|
There was a time when I was taking all bets
|
That this place was even better than as good as it gets
|
And now looking back from the outside in
|
I think I was choking on the air in Eden
|
|
You know if I could change anything, I think I would start with the name
|
The truth is all those angels started acting the same
|
And I know there's no going back now cause
|
Life in Eden
|
Life in Eden changed
|
No way to make the pain play fair
|
It doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there
|
So when they ask why'd she go you can say cause
|
Life in Eden
|
Life in Eden changed
|
When they ask why'd she go you
|
Cause life in Eden
|
Life in Eden changed
|
Life in Eden changed
|
Life in Eden changed
