Paperchains Lyrics by Joel Baker

Hush Now My Fears

0

[Verse 1]
Is it even true?
And where is it all leading to?
My short sight is good at stealing views
Believing truths appear as lies like eating fruits
I'm so numb, I can't believe the news
Stirring [?] reheated soups
Counting breaths in 3's and 2's
Is this even true?

[Verse 2]
Why do I limp before I've lost a leg?
Fear grips my hostage head
Death, my fostered friend, lost the end
My worn answers get washed likе the socks I've lost again
Slow down, oh how I wish therе was time
The days fall in high like a water slide
As I form my side to hoard the light
I often forget to call goodbye
I try and store the sights
Before I know the roses, it's autumn time

[Verse 3]
But I saw you cry
Yeah, I caught a glance
Do I really need answers or an open hand?
Do I need a Zeus or a broken man?
These days, my mind steers like a loaded van
Taking garden shears to holy lands
But inside my trojan plans, do I know who I am?
Reflections, strength and as darkness grows
And too often in my party clothes, it hardly shows
But as my imaginary friends start to go
I part the boat long enough to become the only one my father knows

[Verse 4]
Please calm the ghosts
I see them all inside the glass
I close my eyes like it's the last
A spearhead in my side as I fight the past
Sinking in sodden and clovered fields
Dying under horses and roman shields
I can see this moment for how I will, statue still
And as the days fold out like paperchains
I wait, I wait, I wait in vain
To see your gorgeous face again
