LYRICS

Blur the lines of my dreams
Although I'm awful just to see
Blur the lines in my head
While yours rests against my chest

Sleepwalk through the crowd
The labyrinth far too loud
For me, for you

Green light from the clouds
But oh,
I just can't see it now

Just take me back to the start

Blur the lines of my dreams
Cause they're bursting at the seams
Snow angels love so true
Come to life because of you

I'm lying on the floor
Searching for the door
Oh to find you

My hands are so cold
But oh,
Can you help keep them warm

She takes me back to her heart

Oh [x4]

She takes me back to the start

LYRICS

Another day, another face
Washed away, in the rain
Hoping the clouds will speak their name

It will make you grow stronger
It's funny how fear makes the heart grow fonder
Then again you almost lost her

Oh, why can't you see the mortality
You gave to me

But, you grew roses in my lungs
They are beautiful but I can't breathe
You made gold, grow in my eyes
I can't see

Although you stole my heart is seems
Butterflies flew but I can't grieve
You made gold grow in my eyes
I can't see

La da de da da

The hand of Midas reached out and touched my eyes
This is not what I had planned as my feet hit the sand
You were broken glass upon the ground
My ears were pulsing with sound
And you came crashing down
But I could still feel your heart against mine with a strong hard pound

I tried to fix you yes but I became a bloody mess
Throwing my life into the wreak
Trying not to get my feelings checked
Well that's a fact haven't you heard
Throwing a hammer at my glass will break me down
And never ever fix your dire past

Oh, why can't you see the mortality
You gave to me

But, you grew roses in my lungs
They are beautiful but I can't breathe
You made gold, grow in my eyes
I can't see

Although you stole my heart is seems
Butterflies flew but I can't grieve
You made gold grow in my eyes
I can't see

La da de da da
(Ohs)

I can't hold on anymore
I'm gonna lose control
Of my soul
[x4]

Yeah,
But, you grew roses in my lungs
They are beautiful but I can't breathe
You made gold, grow in my eyes
I can't see

Although you stole my heart is seems
Butterflies flew but I can't grieve
You made gold grow in my eyes
I can't see

La da de da da
(Ohs)

LYRICS

Your lips around a cigarette 
It tastes like something you might regret
It’s all a show

I don’t know what year it is
But all these lies are deafening 
But now I know
I wasn’t worth the truth at all

But I can see
The eyes of green 
They’re reaching out
We hear them scream and shout 

So come and find me
And even when you’re gone
We’ll find a way to sing along, won’t you
Cut through the Waterfall

The coffee stains run down your shirt 
As you describe how much we’re worth 
Drift through the smoke 

Yet fall away in the dark
And feel the ice fall apart
Knowing we’re stuck between the finale and the start

I know
The river to tomorrow 

But I can hear
The voices you yield 
Maybe now, they can lead us a way out
To come a find me

Ohs

So come and find me
And even when you’re gone
We’ll find a way to sing along, won’t you
Cut through the Waterfall

Is there anyone out there right now 
‘Cause I need someone 
To show me back 
Will you show me back 

Ohs

So come and find me
And even when you’re gone
We’ll find a way to sing along, won’t you
Cut through the Waterfall

The Waterfall
The Waterfall
Yeah

LYRICS

So many have fallen
Fallen from the clouds of desire, of desire 
Struggling to find the words to write this song 

But we’ve all decided 
To drown in our sins to inspire, to inspire 
The forbidden club is not too long 

Ohhh…
The sugar clouds, they want us out 
Finding a way to dissolve the doubt but

Ohhh…
The Saturn Boys, they drive all night
Searching for the thing that gives them life

Oooo...  I know, I know
The 7/11 is not too far, but 
Oooo…  I know, I know 
The rain makes it hard to see the stars
But it happens all the time 

Ohhh…
The sugar clouds, they want us out 
Finding a way to dissolve the doubt but

Ohhh…
The Saturn Boys, they drive all night
Searching for the thing that gives them life

Blinded by the stars we find a way 
Hoping we will watch them tesselate 
Grasping for your hand with peace to wait 
Find a way to reach it, reach it

Ripping through the page inside your brain
The ink on our skin is not the same 
White lighters wave the path of shame
Find a way to need it, need it 

Lost in the cold of the autumn night
Guided by the glow of the neon lights 
The hands of glass put up a fight 

Ohhh…
The sugar clouds, they want us out 
Finding a way to dissolve the doubt but

Ohhh…
The Saturn Boys, they drive all night
Searching for the thing that gives them life

LYRICS

Okay it’s like 2 AM
Let’s do this 

Hey
I know my face is red right now
But I just wanted to know how
Your gaze can melt away my gold
Yeah love

Mmm
The pavement is cracked for sure, but
Mmm, maybe that’s what it’s made for

'Cause streetlights guide 
Down the highway for you and I
We watch them float away
With the stars in the sky
We’ll be singing like “Oooo…”
We’ll be singing like “Oooo…”

Oooo… yeah
Okay, okay

You’re my favourite season of the year, girl
You could teach spring a little thing about growth
And I swear I’m sincere, girl
When I say I’ll always make you hummus on toast, yeah

Mmm, I’m shattered more than most, but
Mmm, you’ll be with me even when I’m a ghost

'Cause streetlights guide 
Down the highway for you and I
We watch them float away
With the stars in the sky
We’ll be singing like “Oooo…”
We’ll be singing like “Oooo…”

Oooo… yeah

Oh x4

And we made it so damn far
I can’t follow where you are 
But I’ll keep the photos close to me

I doubt that much will change
No vacancy in my brain
I’m more your shadow show 
But why’d you have to go?

'Cause streetlights guide 
Down the highway for you
And I just watched you float away 
With the stars in the sky 
I’ll be singing like “Ohh…”
I’ll be singing like “Ohh…”
Oh…

LYRICS

I can start to feel my whole body drift away 
As I try to chase the lights left in your wake
But when I close my eyes I swear I can still see
The starlight in your hair
On that roof in God knows where 

Oooo…

The Labyrinth walls are gone
You freed me from the maze 
But you left me all alone 
With this empty field to face 

I’ve dealt all my cards 
Still bested by Mr. Fate, but 
Oooo…
I will wait

I can still feel your arms wrapped around my waist 
You never knew how much you held together in your embrace 
It’s like you knew just how to formulate my darkest fears 
Like when you held my hand 
And said the end is truly near

Oooo…  Oh…

The Labyrinth walls are gone
You freed me from the maze 
But you left me all alone 
With this empty field to face 

I’ve dealt all my cards 
Still bested by Mr. Fate, but 
Oooo…
I will wait

I’m sorry I’m grim
You’re so alive with him 
You look so happy
And that’s all I want 

I know you say
You’re one call away 
I know the truth sadly 
You don’t like metaphors in songs 

So I hope he stays
And asks about your day
And calls you pretty 
Maybe that’s what I did wrong 

Just know I’ll wait 
’Til night drains from day 
But you look so happy 
And that’s all I want 

And you’re all I want 

But you look so happy
And I guess that’s what I want

What is 'Paper Child' about?:

Paper Child follows a conversation between an individual and an idealized version of their younger self, during a time of emotional distress; a plea to reconnect with a side of themselves that had been lost in time. This child is treated as more of an entity of purity and innocence, but one that has clearly suffered throughout their years of neglect and detachment (“...Your hands so cold from bleeding in this life, You’ve broken from your trials). The narrator attempts to verbally engage with the child but to no avail, and eventually decides to share his wisdom of the future: “Paper Child, don’t you lose your worth, Know the snow will fall and leaves will crawl to be right where you are.” To paraphrase: despite the overwhelming nature of the never-ending crawl of time, don’t ever lose your love for life... It’s worth more than you know.

Eventually, during the climactic finale of the bridge, the narrator comes to the realization that their own fear of embracing innocence has been hindering their progression the entire time; if one gives in to their child-like wonder once again, despite knowing the pain and fear that inevitably comes with love and living, one can find rediscover the joy in their existence once again.

Lyrics:

Just thought I’d stop by,
Your breath so cold, I see it in this light
You’ve been here for a while

Just thought I’d check in,
I’ve been waiting all day to see that fractured grin
Been wondering where it’s been?

Cause maybe I,
I haven’t been honest here
And maybe you’re just slowly drifting back away from my mirror 

Paper child, don’t you lose your worth,
Know the snow will fall and leaves will crawl
To be right where you are 

Just thought I’d stop by,
Your hands so cold from bleeding in this life
You’ve broken from your trials 

Just thought I’d check in,
Burn your clothes and make it heal your skin
And find your innocence 

Paper child, don’t you lose your worth
Know the snow will fall to make your crawl right back to the Earth

Paper child, don’t you lose your worth,
Know the snow will fall and leaves will crawl
To be right where you are

Paper child, don’t you lose your worth,
Know the snow will fall and leaves will crawl
To be right where you are

I’m running out of options here now,
Why do I choose to fear love?
Cause maybe I’m blind too,
And maybe I can find you again

I’m burning through the deck of cards slow,
I’m burning through your heart but I know,
That you were once mine too,
And maybe I can find you again

I’m running out of options here now,
Why do I choose to fear love?
Cause maybe I’m blind too,
And maybe I can find you again

Paper child, don’t you lose your worth,
Know the snow will fall and leaves will crawl
To be right where you are
