Eden

[Verse 1]

Let me paint a picture for you

Then I'll have to teach you to see it

Illustrate the remnants of the life

I used to live here in Eden

Rolled a lucky pair of dice, ended up in paradise

Landed on a snake's eyes

Took a bite, and ended up bleedin'

[Hook]

You know if I could change anything

I think I would start with the name

The truth is, all those angels started acting the same

And I know there's no going back now

'Cause life in Eden

Life in Eden changed

No way to make the pain play fair

It doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there

So when they ask, "Why'd she go?"

You can say

"'Cause life in Eden

Life in Eden changed"

Life in Eden changed

[Verse 2]

Walking in the garden

Was a serpent-shaped heart and he told me

That what is broken cannot show

And less than beautiful is worse than unholy

Idolized my innocence, stole it from me in the end

Now I'm wide awakened

And still paying for the poison they sold me

[Hook]

You know if I could change anything

I think I would start with the name

The truth is, all those angels started acting the same

And I know there's no going back now

'Cause life in Eden

Life in Eden changed

No way to make the pain play fair

It doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there

So when they ask, "why'd she go?"

You can say

"'Cause life in Eden

Life in Eden changed"

Life in Eden changed

[Bridge]

There was a time when

I was taking all bets

That this place was even better than

"As-good-as-it-gets"

And now looking back from the outside in

I think I was choking on the air in Eden

Choking on the air in Eden

'Cause life in Eden changed

[Hook]

You know if I could change anything

I think I would start with the name

The truth is all those angels started acting the same

And I know there's no going back now

'Cause life in Eden

Life in Eden changed

No way to make the pain play fair

It doesn't disappear just because you say it isn't there

So when they ask, "why'd she go?"

You can say

"'Cause life in Eden

Life in Eden changed"

When they ask, "why'd she go?"

'Cause life in Eden

Life in Eden changed

Life in Eden changed

Life in Eden changed
