Plastic Paradise

I am just a boy Purity must be destroyed You have got a gift Keep it away from the dirt and spit I used to talk a lot Until that night in the parking lot Stable bodies with lost souls But if you don't grow up, son You'll pay the toll Don't forget You could mean something to yourself Lying on the couch As your friends give you dirty looks You studied the manuals and read the books Did you ever think Before you hit the ceiling by your kitchen sink Did you think it was real The more you see the less you feel Time of your life Your own plastic paradise Static mind As the crowd slowly leaves you behind Don't forget You could mean something to yourself Lying on the ground As you hide behind the smoke screen Not knowing, not believing everybody can see Everyone can see You're not who you try to be Everybody knows You live in the shadows If you open up your mind There's a place that you will find We're all gonna bleed So baby bleed with me
