Artificial Paradise - Ballad of a Distant Star (2023 Version)

Today I feel like I am losing myself
My time's running out
Before I come back to the dust again
You can keep me busy with colloquial chimes
And nursery rhymes
And keep the darkness tucked away 'til then
Return to the perfect world we're in
To be rid of defects and live forever
Working together is neither good or bad
It's just humanity
Tell me I'm alive
And show me how you smile
Because I wonder how you live
(Wonder how you live)
Writing down these words forever
This is paradise
(This is paradise)
Running through your eyes
And it's own
Broken shard of sinless glass
Can't stand the rhythm of days of the week
I don't pity the meek
Their lucid dreams are quaint 'cause lately
Everyone's been so obsessed with killing themselves
It's bad for your health
To think about the way things were before
I slip through the cracks in my own skull
'Til I think clearly and save my future
I wish my brain was a lifeless database
And my future, machinery
Tell me I'm alive
And show me how you smile
Because I wonder how you live
(Wonder how you live)
Writing down these words forever
This is paradise
(This is paradise)
Running through your eyes
And it's own
Broken shard of sinless glass
Where did we all go?
I wonder if there's a god that even knows
The spaces in between the land and sea
Tell me there's a better place I need to be
I'll just
Take you by your poet's verse
Because my songs I write with made up words
You gotta be the best at what you do
And save being alive for the absent fool
Grab my being by the throat
And strip away every song I thought I wrote
Because being the best is like being the worst
If you can't get out of your poet's hearse
Artificial paradise
Come on tell me lies
I hate your world
And the thought of touching anything you kiss
Tell me I'm alive
And show me how you smile
Because I wonder how you live
(Wonder how you live)
Writing down these words forever
This is paradise
(This is paradise)
Running through your eyes
And it's own
Broken shard of sinless glass
I'm finally alive, 'cause I can't let go of my
Organic thoughts of feeling free
(I think I'm free)
To satisfy your world forever
Artificial paradise keep me 'til I die die die
Oh, live forever live for free
