Trapped in this unknown
Supposed to be paradise
Can’t go back
To the place you once knew
Although you’re already pleading
They really won’t let you

Be happy
They say
What do they know?
You can reach out to them
So they say
But every time you try
They just turn their backs on you

You weep and you beg
They pretend they can’t hear you
You pray and hope
You scream your heart out
Until you use up everything you have

So you still go on…
Trying to live in this paradise
This hell-like paradise
Dreaming that someday
Someone shall hear you

Hold on he says
The waters still flow
Soon your dreams will come true
This hell-like paradise
Shall be paradise to you
