Paper Tiger Lyrics by Priory

Need to Know

2015

[Verse 1]
Call me if you want
Please call me if you're able
It's better this way
Lay it all out on the table
Your work of fiction, slight of hand
Acting like a lion laying with the lamb
You say my seeds won't grow
Unless I tend the land
Now watch my seeds, they grow

[Chorus] (x2)
I'm not some paper tiger
I've got teeth, now watch me start a fire
The other boys, they got no desire
They're just lazy boys

[Verse 2]
Ever get tired of giving all the reasons
B-bury your head amidst the changing of the seasons
We're more than dust and changing tides
We know it's hard to trust when the loved one dies
Eyes dry out if you never cry
Oh, your eyes dried out

[Chorus] (x2)

[Bridge]
Good, bad and in between
Says things that we don't mean
It's cold against our naked skin
Scared though we learn to swin
Young loving [?]
Heart beating out your chest
The cry of a baby born
All things were fire formed

[Chorus] (x3)

I'm not some paper tiger
