Living in a house of paper walls
Listening to the rain in the empty halls
We're painting smiles on a cardboard face
Running in a circle, losing the race

The ink is running, the colors are thin
I'm scratching the surface to find what's within
Every window is a TV screen
Showing us a life that we've never seen

Don't lean too hard, don't push too fast
Nothing in this town is built to last

Through the paper walls, I can see the fire
Burning down the truth, feeding the liar
We're tearing it down, we're starting again
Finding the light in the eye of the rain

Tear it down
Tear it down
Tear it all down

Through the paper walls, I can see the fire
Burning down the truth, feeding the liar
