Paper crown

When they gave you roses and believed your wild excuses
You were sealing the deal
Halfway down the road they named it
Funny how the ghosts they played have
Suddenly appear

You went too far
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
And the wolf is at the door, oh
Now it's better if you hold your breath and don't look down
At the pages of your paper crown

You reached out for more and as the waves end
At the shore you felt
The fading of the view
Choke back the metaphors
The bottom of the ladder as
The deal our love has sealed

You went too far
Oh, woman, now you're feeling the fear
Cause you've never been alone before, oh
And the wolf is at the door, oh
And the hounds of hell, they won't lie down
On the ashes of your paper crown And if I light out the sun
Will you make sure everyone can see your face?
You make fun of everyone who falls
In the meantime when they're staying with you at place

Cause you've never been alone before
And the wolf is at the door, oh
And the talking heads don't make a sound
At the aging of your paper crown
It's better when you don't look down
At the pages of your paper crown
