Paradise
Slid like a snake from your mouth
Why should you entertain a crowd
You’ll never care about?
The porcelain moon
Hung high
Shattered on the water
I knew the end was near
But now it’s over
You were always so gentle
I moan to my toes in the sand
No blood on my door frame
Could spare me your simple blade
Angel of death, you’re already gone
That night we watched the mountains catch fire
Who can afford a grave in California?
When you got everlasting road
An emptiness to flow toward?
When you’re out on the highway
The memories just lift from your head
Your legion of demons can’t keep with the speed of ya
Angel of fire in an already strawberry night
The mountains will crumble
Into the ocean
The sun will bleed out, the sky decay
And the gate will swing open
And I will recall you
Your body a vault of abuse
Your body a temple of its own
On that everlasting road
To paradise
