Original Song Lyrics - "Temporary Paradise"

Provided below is the second song written in 2013 for the abandoned concept album The Trials and Tribulations of Man (see post "Working Man Blues"). Precise dating returns to the current song as I actually had the specific day and month written down on my hand-written copy.

Without further ado here begins song two, titled "Temporary Paradise":



Temporary Paradise

I just want to go
Take me to the show
If I don't experience it myself
Then I will never truly know

Booze, smoke, or lust
One of the above is a must
In order to fulfill the dream
You're gonna have to go
And break the trust

To fulfill the dream
You have to break the trust

Every breath we take
Every face we fake
Every move we make
Toward our imminent demise
All for a temporary paradise

Every chance we take
Every life at stake
Every time we wake
One step toward our demise
All for a temporary paradise

The show is drawing near
My body is filled with fear
As soon as I take that hit
My mentality should be clear

[Guitar Solo]

Feelings that I never felt before
Trouble always knockin' on my door
As soon as I take that shot
I can't hold back taking a little more

Booze, smoke, or lust
One of the above is a must
In order to fulfill the dream
You're gonna have to go
And break the trust

To fulfill the dream
You have to break the trust

Every breath we take
Every face we fake
Every move we make
Toward our imminent demise
All for a temporary paradise

Feelings that I never felt before
Troubles always knockin' at my door
Go ahead- take another shot
I don't know if my body can take anymore

In order to succeed
In order to achieve your destiny
Forget the show's lead
You've got to break free...
