Sunlight and Paper Dreams
Empty pockets, quiet night, She moves slow in the neon light. Broken shoes but her soul still sings, Living off sunlight and paper dreams.
Paper thin, but she don’t break, Gold can’t touch the love she makes. Poor in pocket, rich in flame, Sunlight and paper dreams remain.
Light it up, light it up, let it gleam, She’s burning on sunlight and paper dreams.
Smoke in the room, the ceiling’s low, She carries hope where the shadows go. Every scar’s a spark that gleams, She’s burning with sunlight and paper dreams. Chorus Paper thin, but she don’t break, Gold can’t touch the love she makes. Poor in pocket, rich in flame, Sunlight and paper dreams remain.
No crown of silver, no kingdom throne, She builds her fire out of flesh and bone. Every struggle carves her name, She’s richer than the world in flame.
Light it up, light it up, let it gleam, She’s burning on sunlight and paper dreams. Light it up, light it up, can’t be tamed, Living on sunlight and paper dreams.
Paper thin, but she don’t break, Gold can’t touch the love she makes. Poor in pocket, rich in flame, Sunlight and paper dreams remain.
