Lyrics

You build your kingdom out of smoke,
fragile walls where the silence broke.
Holding high what the world can’t see,
but it’s paper thin, and it’s killing me.

I see the fire underneath your throne,
every spark says you’re not alone.
But you hide behind the masquerade,
a ruler in a cheap parade.

You wear a paper crown,
it burns when the rain comes down.
Still I bow somehow,
to ashes falling all around.
Your paper crown… can’t save you now.

You stitch your pride with fragile thread,
but the seams can’t hold the words you said.
Every truth that you tried to bend,
is a kingdom crumbling in the end.

I see the fire underneath your throne,
every crack shows you’re on your own.
But I stand here, though I should let go,
kneeling in a shadow I already know.

You wear a paper crown,
it burns when the rain comes down.
Still I bow somehow,
to ashes falling all around.
Your paper crown… can’t save you now.

Every king will fall,
every wall will break.
But I stay through it all,
for a love I can’t escape.

You wear a paper crown,
it burns when the rain comes down.
Still I bow somehow,
to ashes falling all around.
Your paper crown… can’t save you now.

Paper crown… falling down.
