Paper Tiger

3.25.20

Verse 1
Blame me
I’ll give you all you need
What you want to see
A villain or a king, yeah I’ll be
Can’t contain this
It ended from the start
So what remains is
The things held in the dark

Chorus
Gimme the tail
Give me the horns
Hand over the pitchfork
I’ll play the role
But who stole whose soul?
You play the royal
Trapped in the tower
Holding out hope til that final hour
But I’m a liar
I’m your paper tiger

Verse 2
Won’t erase it all
Or better yet, I can’t
Just last week, you came to me
Spinning through a dream, and held my hand
I’ll take shape
Undone through and through
Allow me to change
Upon this open range
And pay my dues

Chorus
Gimme the tail
Give me the horns
Hand over the pitchfork
I’ll play the role
But who stole whose soul?
You play the royal
Trapped in the tower
Holding out hope til that final hour
But I’m a liar
I’m your paper tiger

Bridge

I will spare you all my feelings
Let’s just focus on you
Stake your claim
Or call me by your name
If it’s true

I will spare you all my feelings
Let’s just focus on you
Stake your claim
Or call me by your name
If it’s true

Chorus
Gimme the tail
Give me the horns
Hand over the pitchfork
I’ll play the role
But who stole whose soul?
You play the royal
Trapped in the tower
Holding out hope til that final hour
But I’m a liar
I’m your paper tiger
