Paradise World without end Hopelessness Sinks into the earth Crying life Kaleidoscope Hopelessness The shifting beauty My mother's love Her gentle touch My father's hand Rests on my throat Hopelessness Myself, I'm here, not here As a point Of consciousness As a point Paradise World without end Hopelessness Sinks into the earth My crying life, my crying life Kaleidoscope (without escape) Hopelessness Sinks into the earth Staring at myself I feel giant and trapped Seemingly Without escape I'm stuffed inside My eternity I'm here, not here As a point of consciousness Paradise World without end, oh Hopelessness Sinks into the earth My, my crying life, my, my crying life Kaleidoscope, kaleidoscope (dream against me) Hopelessness Hopeless, hopeless, hopeless, hopeless (dream against me) Here, myself, here, here
