"Paper Crown" lyrics

"Paper Crown"

Wake up to the rain in the morning
Wake up from your gold dust dreaming
Stone-heavy in your mind
Everything moves with the wind now
Any day everyone is gonna find out
That you can't hold the line

It's okay
Everybody feels the same way
Everybody's too afraid to say
What they haven't found
And all the answers of the modern age
They're like skipping to the last page
Read the story and lose the race
It's just a paper crown
It's just a paper crown

Get up and go to work in the darkness
Come home and try to hold onto to something
It's a wheel that goes around
Strike a pose and smile for the people
Take a picture, make it look so simple
There's a fire underground

It's okay
Everybody feels the same way
Everybody's too afraid to say
What they haven't found
And all the answers of the modern age
They're like skipping to the last page
Read the story and lose the race
It's just a paper crown

The sun come kissing through my window
I'm at the edges of my dreaming
There's a golden moment
But I can never keep it
It's a quiet kind of singing
It is moving without moving
And I am not worried
About where I'm going

It's okay
Everybody feels the same way
Everybody's too afraid to say
What they haven't found
And all the answers of the modern age
They're like skipping to the last page
Read the story and lose the race
It's just a paper crown
It's just a paper crown
