[Verse 1] Woke up with a head full of “not again” Opportunities slipping through my hands like people who walked away, some family some were friends My plans keep falling like dominos But I still tape them up, yeah that’s how it goes I Got a heart that feels too loud sometimes Heart Beating like a drummer with no sense of time But I laugh it off and pretend it’s fine Even when my shadow steps out of line [Pre-Chorus] I’m learning slowly, learning the hard way Trying to put the pieces back on top Even if they fall again I’ll stack them taller than I did back then [Chorus] I’ve got paper wings and heavy things But somehow I’m still trying to fly Even when the wind won’t listen And the clouds won’t open the sky Yeah I break a bit, get mistaken quick But I’m still holding on a bit, on to hope tonight that it will all be over quick Paper wings and heavy things But I’m still giving it a try even though I can't make sense of shit [Verse 2] Some days feel like underwater dreams Pressure drowning out my sense of being But I kick my feet up start swimming and rise above That’s just how you learn to love your stuff and regain your self-love I’ve got bruises from the battles I’ve fought and lost my mind over Scraped my knees on lessons I never sought to hurt over But every scar feels lighter now Like it’s teaching me the “why” and “how” to stop looking back and over my shoulders [Pre-Chorus] I’m learning slowly, learning the hard way Trying to put the pieces back on top Even if they fall again I’ll stack them taller than I did back [Chorus] I’ve got paper wings and heavy things But somehow I’m still trying to fly Even when the wind won’t listen And the clouds won’t open the sky Yeah I break a bit, get mistaken quick But I’m still holding on a bit, on to hope tonight that it will all be over quick Paper wings and heavy things But I’m still giving it a try even though I can't make sense of shit [Bridge] Maybe the fall is part of the flight Maybe the dark brings out the light Maybe I’m built for tougher days Even when my world misbehaves ( Maybe, what if it was... just maybe) I’m learning slowly, learning the hard way Trying to put the pieces back on top Even if they fall again I’ll stack them taller than I did back then I’ve got paper wings and heavy things But somehow I’m still trying to fly Even when the wind won’t listen And the clouds won’t open the sky Yeah I break a bit, get mistaken quick But I’m still holding on a bit, on to hope tonight that it will all be over quick Paper wings and heavy things But I’m still giving it a try even though I can't make sense of shit [Verse 1] I keep racing down the same streets And the crowd keeps showing up to hear my beats All the burned bridges and broken chains Couldn’t stop me, I’d try to piece it all again I keep tumbling down the same flights Into a city with a gritty plan, twisting all my nights I’m free falling through the neon show Free falling, moving slow Free falling won’t hold me anymore 'Cause I’m a rogue misfit Yeah, oh, oh We keep spinning in the same ideas And I won’t wait to chase the things that weren’t there I’m free falling through the slideshow Free falling, moving slow Free falling won’t hold me anymore [Pre-Chorus] I’m learning slowly, learning the hard way Trying to put the pieces back on top Even if they fall again I’ll stack them taller than I did back then [Chorus] I’ve got paper wings and heavy things But somehow I’m still trying to fly Even when the wind won’t listen And the clouds won’t open the sky Yeah I break a bit, get mistaken quick But I’m still holding on a bit, on to hope tonight that it will all be over quick Paper wings and heavy things But I’m still giving it a try even though I can't make sense of shit People creeping deep into my soul Melodies crawling in, taking control When will I leave my mind open wide To see the dreams that keep the world alive? Whispers to the lost with magic and flair Kingdoms of night, drifting clouds in the air My face is quiet, choices are my own These paranoias, I face alone These paranoias, I face alone I keep my choices, these paranoias I face these voices, I keep my choices
