Lyrics for Birds Of Paradise

I've been sleeping without memory I think I'll lie a little longer Wait for the crowds to go Maybe I'll die in this unholy mass And I'll be free Yes that's what they say that I would be When we came to watch the world be over But there's too many fools On this boat that made I can hardly see the water What's happened to me I was down on my knees I was praying to leave But I never know when I've gone too far This disaster in me What a beautiful dream That told me I'd be cleaner Told me I'd be closer to God Oh, the birds of paradise Came to me yesterday Laughed when they told me my fate We'd be cold, we'd be tired, but we could breathe And one day I'm gonna leave this place What's happened to me I was down on my knees I was praying to leave But I never know when I've gone too far This disaster in me What a beautiful dream That told me I'd be cleaner Told me I'd be closer to God
