Paper Tongue (0xTrace PMJB Mix)

[Verse 1] You said "Trust me" Coffee cold on the kitchen tile Lipstick stain on a paper cup Your phone face down But it lit up I heard my name Spoken soft like a warning sign You kissed my head Said "It’s in your mind" But your hands shook the whole time [Pre-Chorus] You keep your stories neat and clean Folded sharp at the broken seams But every corner cuts my skin When I try to tuck the edges in [Chorus] Lies On your paper tongue Every "baby It's nothing" stings my lungs You dress them up In Sunday smiles But they crawl through my teeth When I say I’m fine Lies Dripping down my spine You turn the truth into cheap red wine I drink it up Till I can't stand Then I wake up alone with your alibis And all your lies [Verse 2] Screenshot glare Blue light dance on the bathroom door Your "late-night work" took a detour Same old laugh I’ve never heard before You say "Calm down" Like I’m some storm you can talk away But thunder lives in the things you hide It shakes the frame when you meet my eyes [Chorus] Lies On your paper tongue Every "baby It's nothing" stings my lungs You dress them up In Sunday smiles But they crawl through my teeth When I say I’m fine Lies Dripping down my spine You turn the truth into cheap red wine I drink it up Till I can't stand Then I wake up alone with your alibis And all your lies [Bridge] Did you ever mean it Any single line Or did you just like How I swallowed every time [Chorus] Lies On your paper tongue Every "baby It's nothing" stings my lungs You dress them up In Sunday smiles But they crawl through my teeth When I say I’m fine Lies Dripping down my spine You turn the truth into cheap red wine I’m pouring out The wasted nights I’m walking out clean from your alibis And all your lies
