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
