I tried but I failed, to illuminate your heart I tried but I failed, to desensitize your pain I tried but I failed, to get rid of all your fears I tried but I failed, to enlighten you with love I tried but I failed, to protect you from the cold I tried but I failed, to shelter you from ham We're parasites in paradise And paradise is filled with lies I tried but I failed, to illuminate your heart By ripping it apart I tried but I failed, to desensitize your pain With a bag of cocaine You know I tried, but I failed to get rid of all your fears And replace them with tears I tried but I failed, enlighten you with love When all you wanted was lust I tried but I failed, protect you from the cold By setting you on fire I tried but I failed, to shelter you from ham By leaving you to rot I tried but I failed To murder all your dreams In so many ways We're parasites in paradise And paradise is filled with lies Disengage your body And fellate my mind
