Paper Crown Lyrics by Lenoy Barkai

Paper Crown

2022

[Verse]
They told me stories, said that those who seek will find
And when the books were disappointing, I made new endings in my mind
I made them up, I wrote them down
I stuck together a paper crown
[Verse]
And back in late December, when the days were slow
I would spend them in the garden, play pretend that I could go
In new directions, higher still
All this ambition, so little will
[Chorus]
But all these fantasies, they’re just make believe
There’s no silver bullet, on a silver platter, for me
[Verse]
And so it goes the day begins with good intentions
Then it wanes and wanes some more till I can’t count the things I spent it on
The moments, all this time
They’re growing older, my unpaid fines
[Verse]
So I’ll find a big objective, something to fill up the room
And I’ll explore a new frontier and build a city just for you
I’ll build it up, I’ll build it high
Another conquest, another try
[Chorus]
But all these fantasies, they’re just make believe
There’s no silver bullet, on a silver platter, for me
[Bridge]
Ooohhh….Ladadadadadum
[Verse]
But now that city’s empty, its monuments laid bare
‘Cause I could only think of all the things I wish I’d done instead
I built them up, I broke them down
It’s grown so heavy, my paper crown
[Chorus]
But all these fantasies, they’re just make believe
There’s no silver bullet, on a silver platter, for me
[Chorus]
And all these winter days, shouting at the breeze
Couldn’t shake me out of, the sweet velleity
