This Isn't Paradise

In a mental prison On a hamster wheel And I'm not crazy But it's how I feel Sinking into quicksand You're my ball and chain I'm gunna hit rock bottom My life's colour drain 'Cause even life's most decorated design Ain't no work of art I'm facing realisation that most things fall apart This isn't paradise It's yet another lie One told for your salvation Another compromise It's time your ostracised You'll get no thanks for your donation Now the smoke has lifted I can see it crystal clear And there's no hesitation 'cause this time next year You won't be somebody I know You won't be somebody I know I'm the black dog baby I swim against the tide Can anyone save me Because I can't decide Life's so draining That I'm melting down But that sinking feeling Won't break me down Even life's most decorated design Ain't no work of art I'm facing realisation that most things fall apart This isn't paradise It's yet another lie One told for your salvation Another compromise It's time your ostracised You'll get no thanks for your donation Now the smoke has lifted I can see it crystal clear And there's no hesitation 'cause this time next year You won't be somebody I know You won't be somebody I know You built your reputation being uneasy to please No invitation, explanation simply for an ease I'm glad to see the back of that Whilst still feeling I'm easy to appease Will you still implore us beyond what we can endure I'm not sure I can take this situation forward anymore This isn't paradise It's yet another lie One told for your salvation Another compromise It's time your ostracised You'll get no thanks for your donation Now the smoke has lifted I can see it crystal clear And there's no hesitation 'cause this time next year You won't be somebody I know Now the smoke has lifted I can see it crystal clear And there's no hesitation 'cause this time next year You won't be somebody I know You won't be somebody I know
