Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Does it hurt to remember?
Does it help to forget?
Do you know what you started
When you lit the fuse of regret?
[Verse 2]
(There's not a reason why) You've come undone
(There's nothing left to justify) This can't go on
(There's nothing left inside) As I walk this broken land
[Verse 3]
('Cause you're living on a paper sun)
Blind to all the damage done
(Living on a paper sun)
Waiting for the tide to turn
(Living on a paper sun)
You can't hide and you can't run
(All your dreams have come and gone)
Living on a paper sun
[Verse 4]
Do you still hear 'em screamin'?
And does the fear make you run?
Is the anger inside of you
A gift from father to son?
[Verse 5]
(I don't believe in you) You've come undone
(I don't believe in what you do) This can't go on
(I don't believe in you) As I walk this broken land
[Verse 6]
('Cause you're living on a paper sun)
Blind to all the damage done
(Living on a paper sun)
Waiting for the tide to turn
(Living on a paper sun)
You can't hide and you can't run
(All your dreams have come and gone)
Living on a paper
[Verse 7]
You will discover the way to suffer
And like no other, you feed the fire
[Verse 8]
(There's not a reason why) You've come undone
(There's nothing left to justify) This can't go on
(There's nothing left inside) As I walk this broken land
[Verse 9]
('Cause you're living on a paper sun)
Blind to all the damage done
(Living on a paper sun)
Waiting for the tide to turn
(Living on a paper sun)
Waiting for the night
(All your dreams have come and gone)
