Lyrics
I say it all the time
I frequently express myself
I say I’m doing fine
I claim to be okay
When somewhere deep inside
Despite outward appearances, I harbor inner struggles
I know that that’s not right
Deep down, I acknowledge my well-being is not genuine
It’s the same old story
Recurring narrative in my life
Wherever I go
Regardless of my location
I wonder what could cause me
I ponder the root of my emotional distress
To feel so low
Questioning the cause of feeling so down
It’s safer in my head
It feels safer to keep thoughts within my mind
It’s safer to pretend
Choosing to pretend for a sense of security
But maybe I am dead
Contemplating the possibility of spiritual numbness
And this is paradise
Suggesting that the current state might be a form of paradise
I’m talking about a place where life is always a breeze
Describing an ideal place with perpetual ease
Doing every little thing just as you please
Living freely, doing things without constraints
Say “yes”
Encouraging affirmation
Say “no”
Encouraging negation
“I’ve got to roll”
Expressing the need to depart
Nobody gets salty if you say so
Assuring no negative reactions if one chooses to leave
Don’t say sorry
Advising against apologies
At this party
Emphasizing the lack of remorse at this gathering
It’s safer in my head
Reiterating the safety of internal thoughts
It’s safer to pretend
Preferring the security of pretense
That maybe I am dead
Entertaining the idea of spiritual detachment
And this is paradise
Reaffirming the notion that the current state is a form of paradise
Baby take me, take me
Repeated plea to be taken away, expressing a desire for escape
Baby take me, take me
-Baby take me, take me
-Baby oh won’t you take me
-Baby take me, take me
-Baby take me, take me
-Baby oh won’t you take me
-Baby take me, take me
-Baby take me, take me
-Baby take me, take me
-Baby oh won’t you take me
