Artificial Paradise
[Verse 1]
As we were surrounded by the green
A miracle took place in my garden
For seasons I carried with a seed
Which I would never forget to water
So I fed your soil to help you grow
With a promise the mountains still recall
I'd be your shelter when the wind blows
But the fields didn't warn us of the downfall
[Pre chorus]
Through all the storms and droughts we overcame
I still saw your dry leaves waiting for the rain
And though I'd do anything to end with your pain
I won't let you rot
I won't let you rot
[Chorus]
Fructified my faith as your petals fell
But this forest contained the weight of hell
For you I made
An artificial paradise
I cut you from the root and I still ache
Cause your remains are lost inside the lake
I kept you safe
In an artificial paradise
But Eden wasn't heaven
Inside of nursery glass
And Eden is no heaven
When my rose has turned into grass
[Verse 2]
Some cycles don't always follow their course
Nature said I'd be dust before you bloomed
But the decision came from a bigger force
You flourish, you vanish but we're always doomed
[Pre Chorus]
Through all the storms and droughts we overcame
I still saw your dry leaves waiting for the rain
And though I'd do anything to end with your pain
I won't let you rot
No, I won't let you rot
[Chorus]
Fructified my faith as your petals fell
But this forest contained the weight of hell
For you I made
An artificial paradise
I cut you from the root and I still ache
Cause your remains float around inside the lake
I kept you safe
In an artificial paradise
But Eden wasn't heaven
Inside of nursery glass
And Eden is no heaven
When my rose has turned into grass
[Outro]
And it all came down
I hurt but I understand
I had to let you wither
So I could blossom again
