Paper Hell Lyrics

Color me in, fill in the blanks

Tear out the page, start over again

Shade me to reflect the way you hate me

Spill outside the lines and leave me behind

Paint me a smile then smear it away

Draw us a future just to erase

You made me a better person, day by day

But an artist grows to hate what they create

And I hope that you're happy, I know that you're not

We take it for granted, its taken a lot

And one day I'll come back to save you

Like you couldn't save yourself, in your paper hell

It didn't have to be this way

Rinse off the brush and leave me to dry

You're never satisfied, you're always waiting

For the next muse to take hold of you

The next block that you can't break through

You're always waiting, You're suffocating

And I hope that you're happy, I know that you're not

Put pen to paper, just to bleed out the thoughts

Because one day I'll come back to save you

Like you couldn't save yourself, in your paper hell

It didn't have to be this way

And you burned up every single sketchbook

Every single photograph that held us inside

And you tore down every single wall now

Underneath the wreckage, there's nowhere to hide

And the smoke it brings in all the grey

Drowning out the hues of red and blue

Of the flames that swallowed you that day

But I wish I would've noticed

I wish I would've known the words to say

When you said you were happy, I know it's a lie

You put pen to paper, just to say your goodbyes

I was too late to save you, so you couldn't be saved

I wish I knew how you felt, in your paper hell
