Paradise

There's an old, empty house that sits on top of a hill
 The windows are shackled, the air is thin
 Once you're inside the walls close in
 We grew up alone, we grew up too fast
 In that house, it's sink or swim
 When you fight to survive, you quickly learn that
 Everybody wants something
 I, oh I changed my name
 I'd run and I'd run and
 I'd hide in a secret place
 They'd never, they'd never find it
 Not for the weak-minded
 Show me all your scars, I'll be dеlighted
 Don't you know that I turned my back on grace
 And rulе darkened paradise
 
 (Run and I'd run and I'd hide)
 Just down the hall
 Broke down kids and we bound to fall (yeah)
 Never woulda thought I would astound you all
 I thought I hid back deep 'til I found it all
 I gotta long list of my problems (problems)
 Pack a day, tryna solve 'em (solve 'em)
 Gotta dark past, I got dark thoughts
 So I pop pills to dissolve 'em
 Tryna find a house that I call home
 I remember how it felt, I was all lone
 Ya talking to myself in a cell phone
 Ringing I been calling out for help been in hell long (too long)
 Uh, met the devil, I paid the price
 Found God but no slave to Christ
 Blind before but I see the light
 I bought a one-way ticket into paradise
 I, oh I changed my name
 I'd run and I'd run and
 I'd hide in a secret place
 They'd never, they'd never find it
 Not for the weak-minded
 Show me all your scars. I'll be dеlighted
 Don't you know that I turned my back on grace
 And rulе darkened paradise

 (Run and I'd run and I'd hide)
 I've heard time heals everything
 That broken-down house got a new coat of paint
 I still feel it everywhere
 The walls closing in, that unbreathable air
 Are they so different, your house and mine?
 Both have their secrets buried inside
 When we grow up, we all fight to survive
 Everybody wants something
