Lyrics

Utopia
Matthew 7:15-20; 24-27

Trapped inside a box called Paradise
Watching all your dreams go up in smoke
Warnings come but you don’t recognize
So desperate to protect your beautiful lie

Glaring through the walls you agonize
Watching all your hopes go down in flames
Through the glass I see you paralyzed
So helpless to protect your beautiful lie

But the hands of time
Move mercilessly on
Tearing through your expectations
All ambitious dreams
Inevitably fall
When built on improper foundations

Standing in the ash of Paradise
Wondering where all your dreams went wrong
Searching for a valid alibi
Still hoping to defend that beautiful lie

But the hands of time
Move mercilessly on
Tearing through your expectations
All ambitious dreams
Inevitably fall
When built on improper foundations

You want a castle in the sky
You want a name of great renown
Forever climbing
Forever striving
Paradise is calling

Laying down the grounds for Paradise
Building up new walls on age old sand
Claiming that your dream was never really tried
So quick to recreate that beautiful lie

But the hands of time
Move mercilessly on
Tearing through all expectations
All ambitious dreams
Inevitably fall
When built on improper foundations

Where are your castles in the sky?
Where is your name of great renown?
Forever climbing
Forever striving
Paradise is calling

So go and consume whatever they feed you
Go and believe whatever they teach you
Better concede
Whatever they need
Paradise is calling
But every high thing must come down
