lyrics

[Verse 1]

They finally found me
In the closet
With my eyes closed shut

Tiny shadows
Through the keyhole
A vision lined with rust

From there I saw it all
Watched the giant fall
On the fortresses we made

They’ll never stand again
No stitches that can mend
The paper torn away

[Chorus 1]

Paper bones
Underneath our skin
Carry us back to our

Paper homes
Blowing in the wind
We’re safe inside
Just close our eyes

[Verse 2]

You can’t go back again
But it’s like I never left
Those lights beneath the door

Mom was laughing
The radio playing
An old song from the war

Father clutched his chest
Fell beside the bed
Never said a word

The song is over now
Static fills the hours
Frequencies of the heart

[Chorus 2]

Paper bones
Underneath my skin
Crumple when I least expect

Paper stones
Blowing in the wind
Passing through the derelict

Cardboard homes
Let us all pretend
We’re safe inside
Just close our eyes

[Bridge]

[Chorus 3/Outro]

Paper bones
Underneath our skin
Carry us back to our

Paper homes
Blowing in the wind
Hanging from the branches of

Cardboard trees
Let us all pretend
But it’s time to open up your eyes
