The Paradox

Intro

Mm-hmm

One two three four

Verse 1

I was just a fool staring blind at the sun

You were the gravity and I was the one

A brilliant catastrophe breaking the walls

You pulled me to the edge and you ordered the fall

I didn't forge the ring but I studied the gold

The purest of longing is a terrifying thing to hold

Pre-Chorus

You whispered the terms but the ink was all blurred

I am bound to the silence I am kept by the word

You never let go but you never explain

This is beautifully erratic this is perfect domain

Chorus

You are the virtue I could never wear

The holy ghost in the atmosphere

I'm sorry for the crowns that I couldn't provide

But I worship the shoreline from the other side

Yeah I specialize in the light of the heart

Even if I had to tear the canvas apart

Post-Chorus

Canvas apart

Canvas apart

Yeah

Verse 2

You drew every map with a shaking dark hand

I memorized the borders on the promise land

Every note that you signed was a beautiful lie

But I chased the echo till the day I die

I counted every breath on a crooked meter line

You were the paradox I learned to call divine

Pre-Chorus

You whispered the terms but the ink was all blurred

I am bound to the silence I am kept by the word

You never let go but you never explain

This is beautifully erratic this is perfect domain

Chorus

You are the virtue I could never wear

The holy ghost in the atmosphere

I'm sorry for the crowns that I couldn't provide

But I worship the shoreline from the other side

Yeah I specialize in the light of the heart

Even if I had to tear the canvas apart

Post-Chorus

Canvas apart

Canvas apart

Light of the heart
