In a Paradise

Give me something to help me pass the time
A shallow effort to wade through what seems eternity, I don't mind...

Giving up if it means I can unwind
To find out I am trapped inside who I shouldn't be

I'll give you something if you return in kind,
A subtle dose of nothing more than complacency, you may find...

I see an Eagle in a tailored suit
There's nothing quite like its point of view
It's like a mirror looking through my eyes,
A life, unlived, shadowed by disguise

We are all just waiting in a line
Forming thoughts we think would never occur to them
But we could never fully satisfy
Our endless need to know what doesn't occur to us

I see an Eagle in a tailored suit
There's nothing quite like its point of view
It's like a mirror looking through my eyes,
A life, unlived, shadowed by disguise

Eagle in a paradise, it comes, it goes, it already knows,
Your life, has it passed you by?
It came, it went, now you're in a hole
