Lyrics

Paperweights

I'll show you I'm not made of stone

How can I freeze when there's this flow below

I'm afraid to flood until you tell me you can swim

But these words will not wait under paperweights anymore

You say I paint the truth, so watch these colours run

They'll lead you back to where it began

You tell me you can take it all

And none of my warnings make you feel less tall

Oh, you tell me it is time to let the letters fly the page

But these words will not wait under paperweights anymore

You say I paint the truth, so watch these colours run

They'll lead you back to where it began

Well can you hear it coming?

The thunder of a being

The tales of a lifetime

The weight of mountains climbed

Are you not afraid of what it all may look like

On the other side of truth?

No longer bullet proof

Can you hear it coming?

The thunder of a being

The tales of a lifetime

The weight of mountains climbed

Are you not afraid of what it all may look like

On the other side of truth?

No longer bullet proof
