Billy Talent – Reckless Paradise lyrics

[Intro: Ben Kowalewicz]
C'mon!

[Verse 1: Ben Kowalewicz]
Stuck in a crisis
Without a conscience
Trapped in a place we don't belong
There's no more heroes
Left to believe in
They've pushed our backs against the wall

[Bridge: Ben Kowalewicz]
I know that something has to change
We got lost along the way
Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain
'Cause we're falling down again

[Verse 2: Ben Kowalewicz]
Crooks and deceivers
Misled believers
A world where decency is gone
Chaotic flashes
Of huddled masses
Stare down the barrel of the gun

[Bridge: Ben Kowalewicz]
I know that something has to change
We got lost along the way
Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain
'Cause we're falling down again

[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz with Ian D'Sa]
Live in a reckless paradise
The house is burning, trapped inside
A reckless paradise
The wheels are turning truth to lies
In reckless paradise
Could cut the tension with a knife
In reckless paradise
It's up to us to read between the lines

[Post-Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]
Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain
'Cause we're falling down again

[Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz with Ian D'Sa]
Reckless paradise
The house is burning, trapped inside
A reckless paradise
The wheels are turning truth to lies
In reckless paradise
Could cut the tension with a knife
In reckless paradise
It's up to us to read between the lines

[Post-Chorus: Ben Kowalewicz]
Your thoughts and prayers can't fix the pain
'Cause we're falling down again

[Outro: Ben Kowalewicz]
Hey!
