Paper Crown Sky

Lyrics

[Verse 1] They sold the fear in a glossy frame Put a price tag on your name Every screen got a different truth Same old lie in a brand-new suit We learned to scroll past tears like rain Learned to laugh just to hide the pain But I still see the kids in line Trying to find a real one sign Who gets heard when the crowd gets loud? Who gets lost in the painted crowd? We been fed from a broken table Still we grow like we’re built for able [Pre-Chorus] Hold on, hold on Beneath the noise There’s a pulse in us A human voice Hold on, hold on When the dark runs deep There’s a line of gold If you choose to keep [Chorus] We are the light, we are the flame We are the names they couldn’t tame Stand in the truth, stand in the rain We are the same We are the hope, we are the sound We rise again from underground Tell me you see me, say it plain We are the same [Verse 2] They mapped our dreams with a cold machine Turned the soul into a data stream Made a king out of empty stats And a grave for the things we lacked Still a mother hums through the crack of dawn Still a kid writes songs when the power’s gone Still a hand reaches across the line Says, “You’re here, and you’re mine” I seen walls built out of praise and blame I seen hearts get used like a passing name But every scar got a story in it Every broken bone got a beat in it [Pre-Chorus] Hold on, hold on Beneath the noise There’s a pulse in us A human voice Hold on, hold on When the dark runs deep There’s a line of gold If you choose to keep [Chorus] We are the light, we are the flame We are the names they couldn’t tame Stand in the truth, stand in the rain We are the same We are the hope, we are the sound We rise again from underground Tell me you see me, say it plain We are the same [Bridge] If the world goes blind We will be the sight If the world turns cold We will carry light And if they rewrite love We will write it back One true breath At the edge of black [Final Chorus] We are the light, we are the flame We are the names they couldn’t tame Stand in the truth, stand in the rain We are the same We are the hope, we are the sound We rise again from underground Tell me you see me, say it plain We are the same We are the light, we are the flame Even now, we remain We are the same We are the same [Outro] Hold on, hold on Beneath the noise There’s a pulse in us A human voice
