Paper Heart

(album: Dark Sun - 2022)

I'm feeling reckless tonight
So I think I will go for a night drive
Feel the tears flood my eyes
So I think I will drive on the wrong side
Can you see how it ends
My car set ablaze on the river bend
All my thoughts pushed aside
Like it's quiet again for the last time

Don't turn around if you can't bare to see
The rain that can fall when I'm buried beneath
I'm not made of stone and I'm not a machine
The weight of the world is too much for me to hold
My paper heart will fold

If I last through the night
Could you tell me again I'll be alright
On the surface it seems
I'm collected and calm when you need me
Do you really wanna see
The forest hidden through the trees
When it's quiet again for the last time

Don't turn around if you can't bare to see
The rain that can fall when I'm buried beneath
I'm not made of stone and I'm not a machine
The weight of the world is too much for me to hold
My paper heart will fold

It's safer if I don't reply
Stay locked up for weeks at a time
'Cause nothing can hurt me if I wait 'til the chaos collides

It's safer if I don't reply
Stay locked up for weeks at a time
'Cause nothing can hurt me if I

So don't turn around if you can't bare to see
The rain that can fall when I'm buried beneath
I'm not made of stone and I'm not a machine
The weight of the world is too much for me to hold

The world won't need to know
Won't let you get too close
My paper heart will fold
