Paper Moons

[Verse 1] I found a spoon in the sink wearing my father’s face The kettle made a staircase and climbed out of the room Your name sat in my pocket like a coin from a dead sea I shook it and it answered with the sound of empty hands [Pre-Chorus] The wall began to breathe like it knew my secrets Every cracked little reason turned to smoke in my mouth [Chorus] We are paper moons folded in the dark (paper moons) We are paper moons burning without a spark (paper moons) I say I know the shape but it keeps changing back [Verse 2] The clock wore a blindfold and still it saw too much A chair grew roots in daylight then forgot the floor I kissed the edge of meaning tasted rust and rain The future came in fragments in a borrowed shoe [Pre-Chorus] The room leaned left and laughed at the laws I worshiped All my tidy little endings slipped into their skins [Chorus] We are paper moons folded in the dark (paper moons) We are paper moons burning without a spark (paper moons) I say I know the shape but it keeps changing back [Bridge] Maybe the map is hungry maybe the road is made of breath Maybe every solid answer is just a door pretending So I let the floor dissolve I let the ceiling sing If the world is a disguise then I wear it well [Chorus] We are paper moons folded in the dark (paper moons) We are paper moons burning without a spark (paper moons) I say I know the shape but it keeps changing back
