Paper Skin Lyrics by MaeThePirate

Libra - EP

2020

[Verse 1]
I think it's far too late
For me to change
Innately strange
Oh I'm the same as I will always be
A forward personality
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll know my secrets in a week
I'll text all day but never speak
Cause I'm afraid of confrontation
Words get caught up in my throat
'Cause honesty would make me choke
Don't rock the boat
[Chorus]
What if we had paper skin?
That all our thoughts were written in
Do you think that we'd be kinder then?
Imagine a world where I fit in
[Post-Chorus]
La la la da da da
La la la da da da
La la la da da da
La la la da da da
[Verse 2]
Think I could write this character out?
From the novel that I'm about
Could I just rip these papers out
And throw thе remnants in the trash
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll know my secrеts in a week
I'll text all day but never speak
'Cause I'm afraid of confrontation
Words get caught up in my throat
'Cause honesty would make me choke
Don't rock the boat
[Chorus]
What if we had paper skin?
That all our thoughts were written in
Do you think that we'd be kinder then?
Imagine a world where I fit in
[Post-Chorus]
La la la da da da
La la la da da da
La la la da da da
La la la da da da
[Bridge]
(I'm afraid of confrontation)
I don't want to stay at home
Playing cello all alone
Will someone one day care about the music that I write?
I don't want to stay at home (what if we had paper skin?)
Playing cello all alone (that all our thoughts were written in?)
Will someone one day care about the music that I write?
(Do you think that we'd be kinder then?)
(Imagine a world where I fit in)
[Chorus]
What if we had paper skin?
That all our thoughts were written in
Do you think that we'd be kinder then?
Imagine a world where I fit in
[Post-Chorus]
La la la da da da
La la la da da da
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll know my secrets in a week (la la la da da da)
I'll text all day but never speak
'Cause I'm afraid of confrontation
Words get caught up in my throat
'Cause honesty would make me choke
Don't rock the boat
[Chorus]
What if we had paper skin?
That all our thoughts were written in
Do you think that we'd be kinder then?
Imagine a world where I fit in
[Post-Chorus]
La la la da da da
La la la da da da
La la la da da da
La la la da da da
