Slum in Paradise

4/9/2020

I'm getting high on quitting

and I'm quitting everyday

I'm eating where I'm shitting

it's more memorable that way

I'm working on forgetting

it's no longer time to stay

since I saw you

slum in paradise

You're getting off on giving

and you sure do give a lot

You're getting on with living

past the previous last shot

You're so good at forgiving

when the heat is getting hot

we hide as we

slum in paradise

They're looking for our kind

They got our photo in the drawer

They're not sure what they'll find

but they want to find us more

They know us, they're not blind

but walk right past our door

leading to the

slum in paradise

We're getting up our hopes

but there are worse ways to be

We're climbing up the ropes

that lead to someone's Calvary

We're stuffed with envelopes

of the wage we got for free

escaping this

slum in paradise
