Stuck in between a rock and hard place
That vile voice sings uit self-effacing
Staring your moral sense in the face
You do what they say no misbehaving
What sets you apart punishes the heart
Hard to find your spark with no match in the dark because
Everything you want lies underneath the dirt
Building you up just to watch you fall to Earth
All the ones you knew remind you why you left
Welcome back to paradise don't you feel blessed so
Still your mind we're here to stay
There's no out that leads astray but
Hold your head high seek the way
Close the book today's the day
Today's the day
'Cause we know that life is so short and the longer you spend trying to tailor-make it
Will cause it to rip at the seams so do what you can even when you feel jaded
Everything you want lies underneath the dirt
Building you up just to watch you fall to Earth
All the ones you knew remind you why you left
Welcome back to paradise don't you feel blessed so
Still your mind we're here to stay
There's no out that leads astray but
Hold your head high seek the way
Close the book today's the day
Today's the day
Caught in-between all the push and the pull
Strip everything that's ingrained in your skull
Sauter it all back together with new vitality
Set free the danger that nests in your mind
Power in numbers no man left behind
Thank you for putting the person in personality
The things you crave at the bottom of a small town
Raising you up just to watch you fall
The ones you once knew remind you of the need to
Still your mind we're here to stay
There's no out that leads astray but
Hold your head high seek the way
Close the book today's the day
Today's the day
