Paper Kingdoms Lyrics


by Steph Andrews

Brick by brick and lie by lie, we build our towers to the sky
Gold and silver for our delight, they lead us from your love
Happiness bottled and sold, temporary highs then lows
Promises and misplaced hope, but it’s never been enough

We’ve been living in paper kingdoms that last
faith in the we made with our hands
and we’ve up, but I’m down
I’m paper kingdoms for in father’s house

One by watch fall, crumbling walls
worked so hard to raise up, but know they’re enough

We’ve been living in paper kingdoms that last
faith in the we made with our hands
and we’ve up, but I’m down
I’m paper kingdoms for in father’s house

One day I’ll walk streets of gold and hear your voice say home
The soul always known, see now
And I’m taking things, you’ve prepared for me
everything that need, so I’m down

We’ve been living in paper kingdoms that last
faith in the we made with our hands
and we’ve up, but I’m down
I’m paper kingdoms
and we’ve up, but I’m down
I’m paper kingdoms for in father’s house
