Paper Town
[Verse 1]
I feel like I'm on the brink of something greater than me
And everyday I struggle with what I'm created to be
And I can feel the spite, they filled wth hatred it seems
I used to say that it ain't phasing to me
But things are changing, you see
I can't spend another Friday night in the crib
Wondering where my friends at, thinking life is just this
I'm trapped in a paper town, no one ever makes it out
Living in a vacant house, I'm just a kid
No one even knows exists
I'm tired of always leaving out
In pain & I am screamin out, people down to drinking now just to get the demons out
Trapped on a road to nowhere
You can take the shortcut
I'll take the scenic route
But what's the point if I'm never making progress
Sometimes I hate my life, don't even ask for the context
And what's the point of me feeling like I'm best?
When everybody says it ain't my time yet
I feel so
[Hook: Caleb Brown]
Stuck in my life, I need you
Here by my side, I breathe you in
Help me find my way around
I'm so out of time, I feel you
Just out of sight, I'm see through
Break me out of this paper town
[Verse 2]
Where there's no escaping
I see em try to no avail & get so complacement
So displaced and all we needed was some motivation
I hope for patience but inside I feel my soul just breaking
Under the weight
My trust is at stake
I feel like nothing is safe
Maybe that's destiny since I'm the product of a mistake
And if it wasn't for rubbers that break
I'd never get to steer the rudders of fate
But yet despite the odds of my existence, Ima debate
If I ever should've come in this place
So many opportunities that I've been putting to waste
Taking a dumb running pace
Just another brother that's fake
Imagine claiming to be devout in religion
But never even talking bout Jesus now when I'm spitting
I really do believe that He the child that was given
But you couldn't pick me out in a freaking crowd as a Christian, I'm
Hook
[Outro]
I wanna be safe and sound
Something I'll never feel in this paper town
