Paranoid

I’ve heard the crackling by the door.
Heard them slowly burning.
All their dreams and all that matters.
In my short time I’ve seen the fall.
Freedom goodness in them all.
Painful to the heart.

So I won’t try pretending.
I see your world descending.
Remember hope, remember pride.

You’re paranoid.
You’ve lost your mind.
Reality is long behind.
You only see what don’t exist at all.
Find a plan and all you’ve found.
You say the world has let you down.
But you won’t stop.
But I can hear you calling.
You’re falling, ohhh

If you could see inside my mind.
You would surely draw the line.
Maybe then you’d understand.
It’s been tested, it’s been tried.
You’ve been hopelessly denied.
What will it take to make you see?

So there’s no use pretending.
I see your world descending.
But you got hope and you got pride.

You’re paranoid.
You’ve lost your mind.
Reality is long behind.
You only see what don’t exist at all.
You find a plan and all you’ve found.
You say the world has let you down.
But you won’t stop.
But I can hear you calling.
You’re falling.

oh, oh, oh, oh.

You’re paranoid.
You’ve lost your mind.
Reality is long behind.
You only see what don’t exist at all.
You find a plan and all you’ve found.
You say the world has let you down.
But you won’t stop.
But I can hear you calling.

You’re paranoid. 
You’ve lost your mind.
Reality is long behind. 
You only see what don’t exist at all.
You find a plan and all you’ve found.
You say the world has let you down.
But you won’t stop.
But I can hear you calling.
You’re falling.

oh, oh..

I’ve heard the crackling by the door.
Heard them slowly burning.
All their dreams and all that matters.
