Tallman - Paperweight

Paperweight

chasing writing on the wall
bullet-proof and ten feet tall
staining minds with every breath
mocking every chance you get
I stand up to you and I see right through you
I hold my fire up to your paper virtue
I stand up to you and I see right through you
I look inside and find there is nothing in you
I scrape my knees and take the fall
bow and kneel before you crawl
weakness pleases, choice upsets
freedoms lost, become my pet
I stand up to you and I see right through you
I hold my fire up to your paper virtue
I stand up to you and I see right through you
I look inside and find there is nothing in you
I want to believe in something I can feel
