Paper Castles (Live)
I lit a match last night
To burn down the paper castles that I made
Perfectly white and straight
I was proud but now it's plain paper mache
I held the flame close like a child
For a while I found myself again
I could wake up tomorrow
To the most beautiful rubble
We all know things
Don't last in the end
Why pretend?
I wish I could be so much stronger
In one way or another
I don't have what it takes
To fake it one more day
My life is more like scattered pieces
Torn from messy pages
I'm broken but alive
So that's enough
I'll be ok
I dropped that stick of light
Into the lofty grand acropolis
No turning back now
Cause I've spent way too much time inside of it
I watched it burn and turn to ash
The sound of crashing made me laugh
Why did I waste my strength
In building things that are vain?
We all know things
Don't last in the end
Why pretend?
I wish I could be so much stronger
In one way or another
I don't have what it takes
To fake it one more day
My life is more like scattered pieces
Torn from messy pages
I'm broken but alive
So that's enough
I'll be ok
Free at last
Broken glass
Surrounds my path
But I'm walking in it anyway
Pain tells me there's still blood in my veins
I wish I could be so much stronger
In one way or another
I don't have what it takes
To fake it one more day
My life is more like scattered pieces
Torn from messy pages
I'm broken but alive
So that's enough
I'll be ok
I'm broken but alive
So that's enough
I'll be ok
I'm broken but alive
So that's enough
I'll be ok
To burn down the paper castles that I made
Perfectly white and straight
I was proud but now it's plain paper mache
I held the flame close like a child
For a while I found myself again
I could wake up tomorrow
To the most beautiful rubble
We all know things
Don't last in the end
Why pretend?
I wish I could be so much stronger
In one way or another
I don't have what it takes
To fake it one more day
My life is more like scattered pieces
Torn from messy pages
I'm broken but alive
So that's enough
I'll be ok
I dropped that stick of light
Into the lofty grand acropolis
No turning back now
Cause I've spent way too much time inside of it
I watched it burn and turn to ash
The sound of crashing made me laugh
Why did I waste my strength
In building things that are vain?
We all know things
Don't last in the end
Why pretend?
I wish I could be so much stronger
In one way or another
I don't have what it takes
To fake it one more day
My life is more like scattered pieces
Torn from messy pages
I'm broken but alive
So that's enough
I'll be ok
Free at last
Broken glass
Surrounds my path
But I'm walking in it anyway
Pain tells me there's still blood in my veins
I wish I could be so much stronger
In one way or another
I don't have what it takes
To fake it one more day
My life is more like scattered pieces
Torn from messy pages
I'm broken but alive
So that's enough
I'll be ok
I'm broken but alive
So that's enough
I'll be ok
I'm broken but alive
So that's enough
I'll be ok
