Bent Ardi - Paranoid

 

The silence bends, it’s breaking my trust, 

Shadows bloom gold, then shatter to dust. 

I’m chasing echoes that circle my skin, 

The war is inside, though it whispers within. 

 

Am I the liar, or the lie they hear? 

A mirror of doubt, refracted in fear. 

 

I’m lost inside... I'm paranoid 

Tearing the veil! 

Fighting the phantoms,

 In every breath I inhale.

 

I’m trapped inside... I'm paranoid 

Drowning in the gloom. 

 Haunted by silence,

I’ll fracture soon. 

 

I see the patterns in invisible thread, 

A thousand voices where no word is said. 

The ceiling is bleeding, the ground starts to sway, 

But no one believes what I lock away. 

 

I am the watcher of the thoughts I chase, 

A prisoner lost in a shifting maze. 

 

I’m lost inside... I'm paranoid 

Tearing the veil! 

Fighting the phantoms,

In every breath I inhale.

 

 I’m trapped inside... I'm paranoid 

Drowning in the gloom. 

Haunted by silence,

I’ll fracture soon. 

 

I'll fracture soon. 

 

I beg the daylight but I worship night, 

I carve the truth but it hides from sight. 

I want the stillness, yet I crave the storm, 

I break to pieces just to feel reborn. 

 

 I’m lost inside...

I'm paranoid Tearing the veil! 

Fighting the phantoms,

In every breath I inhale. 

 

 I’m trapped inside... I'm paranoid 

Drowning in the gloom. 

Haunted by silence,

I’ll fracture soon. 

 

 I’m lost inside... I'm paranoid 

Tearing the veil! 

Fighting the phantoms,

In every breath I inhale. 

 

 I’m trapped inside... I'm paranoid 

Drowning in the gloom. 

Haunted by silence,

I’ll fracture soon. 

 

 Paranoid… 

Paranoid… 

 

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
