Lyrics

Paradox

[Pre-Chorus]

Bite your tongue until it bleeds

This pain is worth more than what you have to say

Swallow your pride because silence is golden

And I wouldn't pay a penny to hear your thoughts

[Chorus]

Lie down your guard and surrender

All that you're proving is your ignorance

Lie down your guard and surrender

All that you're proving is your ignorance

[Verse]

Choose your words carefully

He that keeps his mouth keeps his life;

He that opens his lips too wide shall bring on his own destruction - [Proverbs 13:3]

[Pre-Chorus]

Bite your tongue until it bleeds

The pain is worth more than what you have to say

Swallow your pride, swallow your pride

Because silence is golden

And I wouldn't pay a penny to hear your thoughts

[Chorus]

Lie down your guard

Lie down your guard and surrender

Lie down your guard and surrender

Lie down your guard and surrender

Lie down your guard and surrender

Lie down your guard and surrender

Lie down your guard and surrender
