Look to the back of your eyes, focus on what's in your mind
Fixated on only what's inside, tighten the shackles that bind our life
This is how we are by design, we can't hide
We can't defy

With every step I seem to descend
But if I sit patiently, waiting endlessly my time will come again
Can't seem to win, but how could I lose
If every enemy I see in front of me's all inside my head

Once, twice, try but can't make it to paradise, there's no paradise
Countless times, thanks for the advice, but I'm falling from heights I won't survive

Haunted mind, lay the lies of a promised land
(Para, para, para, para)
Can't move on so let me fall into the devil's hands, oh
(Para, para, para)
Why have I been forsaken for who I am?
(Para, para, para, para)
Take me in, hold me tight, don't let me see my life
Shine bright, leave me blind, oh paradise

Look to the back of your eyes, what's inside?
Curse a design made of lies. Don't hide, don't defy

With every mistake I evade the guidance they provide
Nothing learnt, I can't repent, was it my fault in the end?
Can't escape, can't help but drown
The ground I stand upon breaks down, down

Take a look right and left, choke on my breath, I've nothing left
Thoughts of a better place, so captivate my brain
Take a look right and left, my world is a mess, but you're so content
No, I'm not obsessed, it's so far in the back of my head, yet why can't I forget?

Why do I feel like the only one who’s struggling to fly, struggling to fly
Scream, cry, but nothing ever changes, I fear this feeling won't subside

Haunted mind, lay the lies of a promised land
(Para, para, para, para)
Can't move on so let me fall into the devil's hands, oh
(Para, para, para)
Why have I been forsaken for who I am?
(Para, para, para, para)
Take me in, hold me tight, don't let me see my life
Shine bright, leave me blind, oh paradise

I'm so sorry that I can't amend, I'm so sorry I'm the way that I am
I'm so sorry that I'm here again, again
I'm so sorry but why do you care, I won't change and that's so unfair
I'm so sorry I believe in what's not there

Haunted mind, lay the lies of a promised land
Can't move on so let me fall into the devil's hands, oh
(Para, para, para, para)
Why have I been forsaken for who I am?
(Para, para, para, para)
Take me in, hold me tight, don't let me see my life
Shine bright, leave me blind, oh paradise
