Paradoxical Hero Lyrics

You can find it hided in a blue factory

The smell of gas catches you off guard

And you wish you had stayed in your fairy palace

The machine unveils itself

Rusty grey cogs are looking down at you

The Great Crusher runs ahead

It's all you can see and it's frightening you

And you think how can it still exist

It should be broken

It's the lie that I've been trying to tell

For all my life it's all I could see

And I could try to escape from my shell

To be like Stevie and to shout I'm free

But I'm both the captive and the host

Of this cynical engine I wrote

A perfect paradoxical hero

Learning to live and learning to let go

I don't know why you decided we

Should spent the night here in the factory

You learnt to brave, maybe you'll learn to love

The dark insides I got so tired of

It's the lie that I've been trying to tell

For all my life it's all I could see

And I could try to escape from my shell

To be like Stevie and to shout I'm free

But I'm both the captive and the host

Of this cynical engine I wrote

A perfect paradoxical hero

Learning to live and learning to let go

It's the lie that I've been trying to tell

For all my life it's all I could see

And I could try to escape from my shell

To be like Stevie and to shout I'm free

But I'm both the captive and the host

Of this cynical engine I wrote

A perfect paradoxical hero

Learning to live and learning to let go
