Stranger in Paradise (feat. Ayu Okakita)

Outside my window I can see

The people who once still looked at me

The future was not theirs to foresee

As time dragged its razor threw my long-forgotten dreams

Song birds and giants circle truth

Skylight collapses through my roof

I turn my head from the fatal proof

There's no way back to the magic innocence of youth

Safe from the monsters in my head

I lie alone under my bed

I am dead to the world outside

A stranger in paradise

Outside my window I can see

Life as it slips away from me

The faces of those I used to know

Playing their part inside the never-ending show

Outside my window I can see

Faith in their ritual certainty

Which numbs them to all their agony

And binds them together in the world that murdered me

No great escape from my own self

No waking up as someone else

I am dead to the world outside

A stranger in paradise
