Paper Doll

(album: The Jokerr's Legacy: Cave Of Bones - 2020)

All I wanna do is go away
Jump into the ground and close my grave
What was on my tombstone?
What was on my tombstone?
I'm tired of it all, just being real
I been tryna tell you how I feel
I'm feeling like a tombstone covered in vines that the Moon's grown
So listen to me
I'm way beyond the wait for tomorrow, I may be gone
This may be the last time to hear my words
So let 'em all let go around the Earth
Listen to me
I scream it loud, but nobody hears me
So I flee the crowd and pray for a rainbow that never comes
And sing me the song I forever hum

Look at how my eyes no longer shine
Look at how I can't make up my mind
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)
Look at how the tears roll down my face
Look at all the pain I can't erase
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)

I'm running through a maze, I'm trapped inside
The mirrors on the wall reflect the light
I'm tryna find the way out (I'm tryna find the way out)
I gotta find the way out (I gotta find the way out)
I'm chasing a mirage I never touch
I'm worshipping a God I hate so much
I ask him for the way how (I ask him for the way how)
But he never wants to say how
So listen to me
I'm way beyond the hope for tomorrow, I may be gone
This may be the last time I'm ever seen
This may be the last time for everything
Listen to me
It's almost done, at least I can say I was the honest one
But I pray for a rainbow that never came
And I sat there alone in the heavy rain, singing

Look at how my eyes no longer shine
Look at how I can't make up my mind
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)
Look at how the tears roll down my face
Look at all the pain I can't erase
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)

Everybody's got their fucking ideas how I'm supposed to perceive
But they'll be nowhere to be found when I'm mostly in need
I look around, I'm just floating on the loneliest sea
I call for help and hear an echo, but it's only just me
I set a drift from the currents passion inside me
And I trusted in my hope to be the [?] that guides me
I trust that I can make it, but the passion will sty me
And now that hope is gone and I just navigate blindly
Like was it all for none?
I'm watching the clouds crawl across the sun
While I'm searching the backroads from [?] ways
And hearing the latch close the Heaven's gate
Like, listen to me
I'm almost there, just leave me a light on and don't despair
I'm chasing a rainbow, it takes some time
It wore me down tryna make it mine, like

Look at how my eyes no longer shine
Look at how I can't make up my mind
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)
Look at how the tears roll down my face
Look at all the pain I can't erase
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)
I'm feeling like a paper doll (I'm feeling like a paper doll)
