Bent Ardi - Paradox

 

 I smile to the world, but I bleed inside,

I’m chasing the truth while I’m trying to hide.

I long for the light, yet I run from its glow,

I’m walking in circles, though I want to grow.

 

I’m not the hero, not the saint they see,

Just a shadow of the man I try to be.

 

I am the paradox, paradox, paradox

Breaking in two

Fighting myself,

In everything I do.

 

I am the paradox, paradox, paradox

Living in silence moon

Fighting the pain

I'll rise soon.

 

I hold on to love, but I push it away,

I want to belong, yet I drift every day.

I carry the fire that burns me alive,

But without the flame I can’t survive.

 

I’m both the question and the answer lost,

I pay for freedom but I don’t know the cost.

 

I am the paradox, paradox, paradox

Breaking in two

Fighting myself,

In everything I do.

 

I am the paradox, paradox, paradox

Living in silence moon

Fighting the pain

I'll rise soon.

 

I want the silence but I crave the sound,

I seek the sky with my feet on the ground.

I want to heal, but I love the pain.

I lose myself just to feel again.

 

I am the paradox, paradox, paradox

Breaking in two

Fighting myself,

In everything I do

 

I am the paradox, paradox, paradox

Living in silence moon

Fighting the pain

I’ll rise soon

 

I am the paradox, paradox, paradox

Breaking in two

Fighting myself,

In everything I do

 

I am the paradox, paradox, paradox

Living in silence moon

Fighting the pain

I’ll rise soon

 

I’ll rise soon
