City of Cardboard

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Fibers in the light of a projector, catch fire Wolf in the front yard, look out from your door and admire Drink your tea with sympathy, while organized chaos awaits Because I've told you in the past, but it never seems to resonate [Chorus] When there's a wolf at your door, don't just try and ignore All the things outside your city of cardboard One day it'll burn and the lesson you'll learn Is your paper holds nothing but words and records [Verse 2] The music is within his hands and his heart And in his mind, all of the planets are marbles in the stars But this game of pretending is so apprehending these days And all of your time is spent comprehending this game [Chorus] When there's a wolf at your door, don't just try and ignore All of the things outside your city of cardboard One day it'll burn and the lesson you'll learn Is your paper holds nothing [Bridge] And so if your mundane existence withstands I look to put some truth inside your hands [Verse 3] So drink your tea with sympathy, while organized chaos awaits Because I've told you in the past, but it never seems to resonate [Chorus] When there's a wolf at your door, don't just try and ignore All the things outside your city of cardboard One day it'll burn and the lesson you'll learn Is your paper holds nothing but words and records
