"Paper Children" lyrics

"Paper Children"

Children when you will forgive them again
For being born beyond where your fault lines are drawn
Slip the fence in the yard, now you've gone way too far
Just south of your respect is where we are

We think it's make-believing
You say the numbers don't lie
See paper children leaving
In the dead of the night

Time has come to testify
There's another trail of tears tonight
Running for the light

Paper children, when you will forgive them again
For being born beyond where your fault lines are drawn
Slip the fence in the yard, now you've gone way too far
Just south of your respect is where we are

This life. It slowly trickles
Storms pick up the wind
These thoughts I thought I'd never be thinking
And never thought I'd think again, whoa

Time has come to testify
There's another trail of tears tonight
Running for the light

Paper children, when you will forgive them again
For being born beyond where your fault lines are drawn
Slip the fence in the yard, now you've gone way too far
Just south of your respect is where we are
Paper children

Paper children, when you will forgive them again
For being born beyond where your fault lines are drawn
Slip the fence in the yard, now you've gone way too far
Just south of your respect is where we are

Paper children, when you will forgive them again
For being born beyond where your fault lines are drawn
Slip the fence in the yard, now you've gone way too far
Just south of your respect is where we are

Where we are, where we are
For being born beyond where your fault lines are drawn
Slip the fence in the yard, now you've gone way too far
Just south of your respect is where we are
