They said, “Bend your knees

Take our vows and we’ll set you free”

Go stuff yourself with plastic

Forget the things that made you whole
G C D
You’re made to fit their mold, oh

No I don’t need your paper throne
Em C
Oh I know the fall won’t break my fragile bones

Even the fools know nothing is forever

I won’t trade my soul for your paper
