[Verse 1] I wear my own weird name Like a stain on a white shirt You see me turn one way Then the whole room says, "Fall in line" My pockets full of sparks But my shoes stay in the row Every day I make a face For the box they made me grow [Pre-Chorus] I am a storm in a badge A thread pulled through a chain I twist, I split, I shine Then I hear that iron refrain [Chorus] Paper prison, paper prison Everybody signed the wall Paper prison, paper prison I can hear the same clock call I break shape, you make shape Still we wear the same old skin Paper prison, paper prison Chaos trying to get in [Verse 2] Some days I bloom in noise Some days I fold to fit I got a hundred little selves And every one of them is lit But the hallway wants one step One voice, one perfect line They hand me the same gray suit And call it being fine [Pre-Chorus] I am a storm in a badge A thread pulled through a chain I twist, I split, I shine Then I hear that iron refrain [Chorus] Paper prison, paper prison Everybody signed the wall Paper prison, paper prison I can hear the same clock call I break shape, you make shape Still we wear the same old skin Paper prison, paper prison Chaos trying to get in [Bridge] If I scream, they call it trouble If I bend, they call it grace I keep finding all my colors In the cracks beneath the place [Final Chorus] Paper prison, paper prison Everybody signed the wall Paper prison, paper prison I can hear the same clock call I break shape, you make shape Still we wear the same old skin Paper prison, paper prison Chaos trying to get in
