Paper Hearts

I wear my blood like jewelry
I wear it nice and loud
I wear my eyes like makeup
I wear them to astound
I never liked the silence
it always made me cringe
and lately every sunset
takes on a darker tinge
I wear my ice like banquets
I live in luxury
I have this world inside and
I want to set it free
so if you never knew me
now you know a little bit
and if I do not impress you
maybe I'll impress who you are with
I've been dancing like an angel
with an artificial hip
you know words they have some meaning
but sounds are more equipped
to tell the truth
cut right to the core
you either end up standing
or lying on the floor
I wish that you'd be honest
I wish that you'd be kind
I wish I wished for nothing
that would be just fine
but the past is angry
yeah the past is sick
and my brain is tired
of going back to it
so if you never knew me
now you know a little bit
and if I do not impress you
maybe I'll impress who you are with
I've been dancing like an angel
with an artificial hip
you know words they have some meaning
but sounds are more equipped
to tell the truth
cut right to the core
you either end up standing
or lying on the floor
so if you never knew me
now you know a little bit
and if I do not impress you
maybe I'll impress who you are with
I've been dancing like an angel
with an artificial hip
you know words they have some meaning
but sounds are more equipped
to tell the truth
