Paradigm - Lyrics - We Are The Fallen

We Are the Fallen is an American gothic metal band consisting of former American Idol contestant Carly Smithson, Marty O'Brien and former Evanescence members Ben Moody, John LeCompt, and Rocky Gray. The band's name is an allusion to Evanescence's 2003 album, Fallen, which has resulted in criticism for their similar style to Evanescence. In a Los Angeles Times interview, co-founder of Evanescence, Ben Moody, said that We Are the Fallen differs from Evanescence in that "everyone is equal" and that it has "more energy than Evanescence could ever muster." He also stated, "We cannot try to be who we are. If there is some similarity in sound, it's because that genre was created by us."

Falling to my knees before you, So ashamed to see my weakness fill your eyes Needlessly I let myself stray before you Now I face the consequence of my betrayal My paradigm My sweet love I breathe It's you I rely on Shelter me from cold I'm dying paradigm Do we sacrifice? Let our story die? Blissful lullabies return again Let me stay a while Let love survive Delicately crawl into your grace. My paradigm My sweet love I breathe It's you I rely on Shelter me from cold I'm dying paradigm Perfect sky Shadowed by my lies Good enough but always wanting more I replaced all your love with pain So afraid to face the world alone My paradigm My sweet love I breathe My paradigm My sweet love I breathe It's you I rely on Shelter me from cold I'm dying paradigm
