Paper Prison

[Verse 1]
I wear my own weird name
Like a stain on a white shirt
You see me turn one way
Then the whole room says, "Fall in line"

My pockets full of sparks
But my shoes stay in the row
Every day I make a face
For the box they made me grow

[Pre-Chorus]
I am a storm in a badge
A thread pulled through a chain
I twist, I split, I shine
Then I hear that iron refrain

[Chorus]
Paper prison, paper prison
Everybody signed the wall
Paper prison, paper prison
I can hear the same clock call
I break shape, you make shape
Still we wear the same old skin
Paper prison, paper prison
Chaos trying to get in

[Verse 2]
Some days I bloom in noise
Some days I fold to fit
I got a hundred little selves
And every one of them is lit

But the hallway wants one step
One voice, one perfect line
They hand me the same gray suit
And call it being fine

[Pre-Chorus]
I am a storm in a badge
A thread pulled through a chain
I twist, I split, I shine
Then I hear that iron refrain

[Chorus]
Paper prison, paper prison
Everybody signed the wall
Paper prison, paper prison
I can hear the same clock call
I break shape, you make shape
Still we wear the same old skin
Paper prison, paper prison
Chaos trying to get in

[Bridge]
If I scream, they call it trouble
If I bend, they call it grace
I keep finding all my colors
In the cracks beneath the place

[Final Chorus]
Paper prison, paper prison
Everybody signed the wall
Paper prison, paper prison
I can hear the same clock call
I break shape, you make shape
Still we wear the same old skin
Paper prison, paper prison
Chaos trying to get in
