I remember laughter My rollercoaster emotions Oh, how they echo in my mind Like counterfeit excitement This happy pandemonium Of zooming in on our next high And it feels like flying It's a fool's paradise And here we go denying That there's always a price And no easy way out But we can leave our gilded cages In the silence of minds I remember the question Who are we really living for And I could feel you by my side Rare like the flower Peace without euphoria This surrender feels so right Two worlds colliding There ain't no bargaining No giving in without a fight Model of defiance In the face of adversity You keep your target in your sights And it feels like flying Outta fool's paradise And there's no denying But I'll pay the price With my fear and doubt I'll leave them in their cages And rise to blinding heights
