Paper Town
Jenny wakes up feeling flat and numb
To the first pale rays of the risING sun
Pours her first black cup, in the REflection
A blank and bloodshot gaze at what SHE'S become
Wonders how it all seemed to SLIP away
All the RAINbow colors fade to black AND grey
Tryin' to make a living, make it THROUGH THE day
A walk-on ghost in someone ELSE'S play
Run away, run away
She's just a paper doll in a paper town
Just a paper doll in a paper town
Just a paper doll in a paper town
Just a paper doll in a paper town
Slips her backpack on, trips across the floor
Decides if she can make it through one DAY more
Grabs a second cup, stumbles out the door
A tired replay of the DAY before
Runs to catch the bus, comes up SECONDS short
One last clutch for the closING door
Standing in the dust trying to IGNORE
The cold disgust, the rising storm
Run away, run away, run away from the pain
Every day, every day it's just the same
Run away, run away, run away from the shame
Every day, every day the same old game
Switchblade smiles from the SIDEwalk sharks
Wither her soul with each REmark
The fire in her eyes now JUST a spark
The PASSion dies when hope dePARTS
Winds her way along rusty railROAD tracks
Lines that lead nowhere and nowhere back
Thousand mile stare into THE BLACK
A world that CARES is just A trap
To the first pale rays of the risING sun
Pours her first black cup, in the REflection
A blank and bloodshot gaze at what SHE'S become
Wonders how it all seemed to SLIP away
All the RAINbow colors fade to black AND grey
Tryin' to make a living, make it THROUGH THE day
A walk-on ghost in someone ELSE'S play
Run away, run away
She's just a paper doll in a paper town
Just a paper doll in a paper town
Just a paper doll in a paper town
Just a paper doll in a paper town
Slips her backpack on, trips across the floor
Decides if she can make it through one DAY more
Grabs a second cup, stumbles out the door
A tired replay of the DAY before
Runs to catch the bus, comes up SECONDS short
One last clutch for the closING door
Standing in the dust trying to IGNORE
The cold disgust, the rising storm
Run away, run away, run away from the pain
Every day, every day it's just the same
Run away, run away, run away from the shame
Every day, every day the same old game
Switchblade smiles from the SIDEwalk sharks
Wither her soul with each REmark
The fire in her eyes now JUST a spark
The PASSion dies when hope dePARTS
Winds her way along rusty railROAD tracks
Lines that lead nowhere and nowhere back
Thousand mile stare into THE BLACK
A world that CARES is just A trap
