"Paperthin"

I can't tell you
How asleep I've been
Want to lock myself inside and hide within
When the daylight
Like a closest friend
I've pushed away as an enemy again

When not a single word can peirce this hide
But the bullets still rip through the other side

[chorus]
Like I'm paperthin
Like I'm paperthin

New day comes
And I see the sun
See it as an opportunity to run
Not a line
To keep me from undone
Trapped in the things that I've become

When all your habits become a habitat
See how weak you are when you're laying flat

[chorus]
Like you're paperthin
Like you're paperthin
Just a fragile thing swept up
And blown in the wind
Looking for a way to begin again
Like you're paperthin

When you're folded and coiled
Future's always getting foiled
Life isn't always what you make of it
Sometimes you gotta suffer for the sake of it
And all of your greatest plans
Get blown away like grains of sand
Stand up for the things you can't
At the most, just to say you can

[chorus]
We're all paperthin
We're all paperthin
We're all fragile things swept up
And blown in the wind
Looking for a way to begin again
Paperthin

If strength is only when you win
We've all been porceline
Life is more than the number
That you're placing in

And I know I'm gonna fall
I may build up my paper walls
But it's in anticipation
Of a wrecking ball
