Lyrics

Chalk outlines on the avenue
They vanish when the rain breaks through
A million dreams washed
But none take hold
Paper cities built on dust
Fold and crumple
As they must
We hold them up
But what's the cost
Paper cities always lost
Empty wallets
Crowded trains
Pockets full of pocket change
But nothing here feels like it's ours
They promised gold
They gave us gray
Another hope just thrown away
Paper cities built on dust
Fold and crumple
As they must
We hold them up
But what's the cost
Paper cities always lost
Under the weight of a thousand lies
The skyline breaks
The people cry
They say to rise
But we just crawl
The higher you go
The harder the fall
Paper cities built on dust
Fold and crumple
As they must
We hold them up
But what's the cost
Paper cities always lost
(Paper cities built on dust)
Paper cities built on dust
Fold and crumple
As they must
We hold them up
But what's the cost
Paper cities always lost
