lyrics

I had a shot, I caught a glimpse,
Missed the mark by half an inch
At least I got a fleeting taste

Lost the ball in the sun
And it came down with a thud
In the middle of my face

Burrowed in, to the couch
Didn't plan on coming out
For at least a couple weeks

I spelled it right but upside down
A world-renowned choke artist ain't I?
And you are my masterpiece

Maybe there's more freedom giving up control
We always seem to find our way back home
πŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŽ† πŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŽ†
And I've missed too much to wait and see
I'm not as picky as I used to be


So what's worse? Missing first?
Or feeling like you are just cursed?
Wondering why you even try

Not so young, not so spry
You try to turn a blind eye
But you'd rather fucking die

You dig in, with a shout
Tell em all to shut their mouths
If they've never tried themselves

Because such words never turned
A shitty life into a good one
So you stand yourself right up


Maybe there's more freedom giving up control
We always seem to find our way back home
πŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŽ† πŸŒŠπŸŒŠπŸŽ†
And I've missed too much to wait and see
I'm not as picky as I used to be

& that's okay.

You travel through the valley
The shadow of the reaper
A calculated exit
Your parts are not your sum
Unturned stones and songs unsung


You answer to the skyline
Know not to play the victim
Seeking sanctuary
So here’s a wayward toast
Your story never told
Solidified in solid gold

Papercage Massachusetts

Originally a three-piece po-dunk pop-punk band in 2019, Papercage now hosts six of the grayest ghouls on the East Coast, all of whom perform various instruments and vocals. Our standard line-up features two guitars, bass, keys, violin, and drums. Papercage has roots in nostalgic alternative rock but expanded into progressive territory until it became unclassifiable to earthly music-enjoyers. ... more
