I hated it every time The captain is still in my head The shadow predicts the fall One last war and then never again My back to the wall, my back to the wall foreseeable when Can I compete? Can I compete? Can I have permission? To dream, come clean, you are the problem To dream, come clean, you are the problem You're the solution, you are the problem You're the solution, you are the problem Find a quiet spot, take your best shot A private paradise, your private paradise When life is too long When life is too long but still too short I hated you every time But I never wanted you more Drinking the poison itself Straight from the lips of a whore Slowly I drown, slowly I drown Down in the back of the well The poison itself, a chemical mess Burning a hole in my head To dream, come clean, you are the problem To dream, come clean, you are the problem You're the solution, you are the problem You're the solution, you are the problem Find a quiet spot, take your best shot A private paradise, your private paradise Let's go I'm counting away the days And it's almost as if life is wasting away And I'm dying inside and I'm killing myself Just to fill in a void that can never be filled Why I'm just a sucker for habits I'm ruining everything that I've loved Over and over The process destroying my mind And a soul I can never get back You are the problem It's never gonna change Find a quiet spot, take your best shot A private paradise, your private paradise Paradise Paradise
