Snake in Paradise

V5.5

[Male voice] «I used to think the garden Was just a story for kids But then I met you And suddenly I understood the ending» [Male voice] «You came in quiet Apple in your open hand Said:» [Female voice] «Trust me Try it» [Male voice] «I was too in love to stand You knew my secrets Fed them back in sweeter lines Said:» [Female voice] «This is freedom» [Male voice] «While you twisted up my mind» [Male voice] «You smiled like you were saving me While you were setting me on fire I laid my guard down carefully You sharpened every wire» [Male voice] «You’re my snake in Paradise Hiding teeth behind that smile Turned my faith to sacrifice Made my heaven feel defiled I gave you all my easy days You sold me out for your alibis Now I finally see your face You’re just a snake in Paradise» [Male voice] «They say there was a garden Perfect Peaceful Till one soft voice Asked one small question» [Female voice] «You asked me too Don’t you want a little more? Don’t you hate being good All the time?» [Male voice] «Said you were honest Said you never play those games But every promise Came with quiet hidden chains You drew a roadmap Straight to where you’d let me fall Then said you warned me As you watched me lose it all» [Male voice] «You kept your hands so clean in this While you were planting every doubt You never swung You just dismissed Then walked away when I burned out» [Male voice] «You’re my snake in Paradise Hiding teeth behind that smile Turned my faith to sacrifice Made my heaven feel defiled I gave you all my bright beliefs You traded truth for a better lie Now I’m tearing off these leaves You’re just a snake in Paradise» [Male voice talking] «You know what hurts? It’s not the bite It’s knowing I stood there Barefoot in the grass And let you closer Every single time» [Male voice] «I called it love You called it leverage I called you "home" You called me "advantage" You said:» [Female voice talking] «I’m here I’d never leave» [Male voice] «While lining up your thin escape You watched me bleed Watched me believe Then blamed me for your every scrape You never held the knife in view You only handed me the blame But I remember every truth And I’m done pronouncing your name» [Male voice] «You’re my snake in Paradise Hiding teeth behind that smile Turned my faith to sacrifice Made my heaven feel defiled I gave you all my garden peace You dragged your chaos through my sky Now I’m cutting down that tree You’re just a snake in Paradise» [Male voice talking] «There was a garden There was a voice There was a trust And then a choice» [Male voice talking] «This time I choose the gate I leave you in the lies You can keep the ruined Eden I’m walking out… Alive!»
