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
