Paper Crown

When they gave you roses and believed your wild excuses
 You were sealing the deal
 Halfway down the road and ain't it
 Funny how the ghosts they fade and
 Suddenly appear
 You went too far
 Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
 'Cause you've never been alone before, oh
 And the wolf is at the door, oh
 Now it's better if you hold your breath and don't look down
 At the pages of your paper crown
 You reached out for more and as the waves hit
 At the shore you felt
 The fading of your will
 Choke back the metaphors
 The bottom of the ladder ask me
 If I love you still
 You went too far
 Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
 'Cause you've never been alone before, oh
 And the wolf is at the door, oh
 And the hounds of hell, they won't lie down
 On the ashes of your paper crown
 ♪
 In the bright light of the sun
 Will you make sure everyone can see your face?
 You make fun of everyone who falls
 And meantime they were saving you a place
 'Cause you've never been alone before, oh
 And the wolf is at the door, oh
 And the talking heads don't make a sound
 At the aging of your paper crown
 It's better when you don't look down
 At the pages of your paper crown
