So paradise don't come real easy
probably not a big surprise
I survive your elevator talk
cause I've got a good disguise
I'm hanging up my old collections
Now I leave 'em out to dry
I watched the afterglow hitch a ride & wave goodbye

How's it gonna be when they find out that they're just echoes at the door
How's it gonna be when they find out that they don't love you anymore

The nighttime will come to please me
wrap me like a cool vampire
practice all my hermit tricks
until the moon expires
I'm hanging on to everything
Try to get my fist to loosen up
I'd like to jettison myself with all this stuff

How's it gonna be when I find out that they're just chains upon the floor
How's it gonna be when I find out that they don't love me anymore

Careful how tight you turn it
Eventually it turns to fire
You say you wanna burn & ash it
But you're still a proven liar
The first step is gravity
the second is your mind so tired
They say you're always late by the time that you retire

How's it gonna be when you find out that it will own you to your core
How's it gonna be when you find out we couldn't care less anymore
