Paper Crown

(앨범: As You Were - 2017)

When they gave you roses and believed your wild excuses
You were sealing the deal
Halfway down the road and ain't it
Funny how the ghosts they fade in
Suddenly appear

You went too far
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
And the wolf is at the door, oh
Now it's better if you hold your breath and don't look down
At the pages of your paper crown

You reached out for more and as the waves end
At the shore you felt
The fading of your will
Choke back the metaphor
The bottom of the ladder ask me
If I love you still

You went too far
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
And the wolf is at the door, oh
And the hounds of hell, they won't lie down
On the ashes of your paper crown

In the bright light of the sun
Will you make sure everyone could see your face?
You make fun of everyone who falls
And meantime they were saving you a place

Cause you've never been alone before
And the wolf is at the door, oh
And the talking heads don't make a sound
At the aging of your paper crown
Better if you don't look down
At the pages of your paper crown
