Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Paper flowers
Paper flowers
[Verse 2]
I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming, monsters calling my name
Let me stay where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops, as they're falling, tell a story
[Verse 3]
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
[Verse 4]
Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaosāyour reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
[Verse 5]
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
[Verse 6]
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh, how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
[Verse 7]
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
[Verse 8]
Paper flowers
Paper flowers
