(Verse)

Packing my bags, leaving this town behind,

Dust off my boots, gotta clear my mind.

Minimum wage, barely scraping by,

Dreams gather dust beneath a hazy sky.

Scrolling through Instagram, the perfect facade,

But I'm stuck in this dead-end job, feeling lost and flawed.

Fake smiles and empty praise,

Yearning for a change, for brighter days.

(Pre-Chorus)

But there's a fire in my soul, a whisper in the breeze,

A voice that says, There's more to life than these ?

I'm taking a chance, I'm breaking free,

On a one-way ticket, just wait and see.

(Chorus)

One-way ticket, a leap of faith,

Breaking free from this town, escaping the weight.

Lost and broken, but still I believe,

Climbing the slope, I'll finally breathe.

No more doubts, no more fears,

In a brand new town, I'll dry all my tears.

(Verse)

Tired of feeling like I'm always behind,

Drowning in debt, with no clear path to find.

The pressure's on, expectations high,

But I'm searching for my purpose, beneath an endless sky.

This town's got a hold on me, its grip is tight,

But I'm breaking free, into the fading light.

There's a whole world out there, calling my name,

A place where I can rise above the game.

(Bridge)

The weight of the world on my shoulders, trying to hold me down,

But I'm finding the strength to rise up, to escape this town.

This road may be long, and the path unclear,

But I'll keep moving forward, year after year.

(Chorus)

One-way ticket, a leap of faith,

Breaking free from this town, escaping the weight.

Lost and broken, but still, I believe,

Climbing the slope, I'll finally breathe.

No more doubts, no more fears,

In a brand new town, I'll dry all my tears.

(Outro)

This is for the dreamers, the ones who dare to fight,

For a life of purpose, burning ever so bright.

So let's raise a glass to new beginnings, to the unknown we chase,

We're leaving the valley, with a smile on our face.

One-Way Ticket

This one's close to my heart. "Paper-Thin" is about the struggle to balance dreams with relationships, and the fear of losing the person you love because of your own mistakes.  Musically, it's inspired by the atmospheric and minimalist sound of artists like Hayd.  I poured a lot into this song, and I hope it connects with you.  Would love to hear your thoughts below. #PaperThin #Songwriter #HaydInspired #IndieMusic #Emotional #NewMusic #SupportIndieArtists
[Verse]

City lights blur, late night gone

Chasing goals, where did we go wrong?

Guilt's a shadow, for walls I've built

Tired eyes, the truth I hide

[Pre-Chorus]

Lost in the haze, love-sick daze

Through silence and fear

Can you hear me? I need you here

[Chorus]

Holdin' on, but it feels paper-thin

To this life, and the state I'm in

Prayin' for sunrise, to melt the frost

Need you, more than words can say

More than late nights, and promises I break

Lost without you, for goodness sake

I'll find a way back to us, I swear (hold on...)

[Verse]

Hear you callin' in this city's haze

Another meeting, under neon signs

While you're building a life, I'm lost in the chase

This emptiness, that leaves me cold

[Pre-Chorus]

Weight of the world, pulling me down

Your love's a lifeline, I don't want to drown

Gotta break these chains, that keep me from you

Tell me you still believe, we can make it through

[Chorus]

Holdin' on, but it feels paper-thin

To this life, and the state I'm in

Prayin' for sunrise, to melt the frost

Need you, more than words can say

More than late nights, and promises I break

Lost without you, for goodness sake

I'll find a way back to us, I swear (hold on...)

[Break]

[Bridge]

This soul's a battleground

Tear down these walls, (tear down these walls) before we drown

I'll be the man you need, your shelter from the storm (from the storm)

[Verse]

No more shadows, no more running

I'll face the dawn, with you, a brand new day

Gonna trade these empty goals, for a love that's true

I'm building my world around you

[Chorus]

Holdin' on, but it feels paper-thin

To this life, and the state I'm in

Prayin' for sunrise, to melt the frost away

Need you, more than words can say

More than late nights, and promises I break

Lost without you, for goodness sake

I'll find a way back to us, I swear (hold on...)

[Outro]

Holdin' on, with everything I've got

For a love that's true, a love worth the fight

Holdin' on to us (holdin' on...)
