Was it everything they told you?

Was it all the things they promised you?

Was it everything they told you?

Was it everything they said it would be?

Strange things move in the corner of my eye

And the sky never looked so white and pretty

Tiny figures crawl upon my sterile flesh

There's a hole in the world, and it keeps getting bigger

Was it everything you hoped for?

Was it all the things you prayed for?

Was it everything you hoped for?

Was it everything you though it would be?

How can you love it...

How can you believe it...

How can you need it...

When there's nothing there?

In space where the stars are dead now

The man in the moon still has a wicked face

But the more you reach for the heavens above

The more you'll hate your own pityful love

Like a river flowing around me...Mirrors paradise

Pulling me in its wake...Mirrors paradise

How can you love it...

How can you believe it...

How can you need it...

When there's nothing there?

I want to show you something so much better

I'll make the world seem a little bit deader

You smile...but it's all despair

You love...but there's nothing there

Like a river flowing around me...Mirrors paradise

Pulling me in it's wake...Mirrors paradise
