Lyrics

i am a ghost in a paper crown
a masquerade in an endless town
a mind just full of doubt
my face keeps smiling
i play the person that I wanted to be
but it’s a hollow lie
i’m afraid to show the real me
deep inside I’m dying
rotting in vain
and it’s my fault there is no one else to blame
no light, no hope, no remedy
yeah, this sickness lives in me
no light, no hope, no remedy
i’m the only one to set me free
i learned to smile with borrowed grace
A mimic's mask on a borrowed face
i am a ghost in a paper crown
a masquerade in an endless town
a mind just full of doubt
tell me do stars know when they’re fading out?
will they even make a sound?
when all they do is shine and break
will i vanish wide awake?
they see the light but I’m the dark
a hollow soul without a heart
no light, no hope, no remedy
no remedy
i am a ghost in a paper crown
a masquerade in an endless town
a mind just full of doubt
tell me do stars know when they’re fading out?
will they even make a sound?
when all they do is shine and break
will i vanish wide awake?
