Verse I:
There they go again dust settles in, starts to fade like sighing
blown away & fallen to the floor
A thin disguise you try to hide, you’re walking slowly dying
hollow as the day when you were born
Verse II:
Close your eyes and then take a deep breath in, you’re standing in the spotlight
and it shines with light of ageless time
behind the door, sitting on the floor, drowning out those sounds
fold by fold you while away the fight
New Chorus:
500 paper cranes 100 folds to try before you go
200 angels chant while 5 standing guard to watch over your soul
100 holy, holy saints out of time
Verse III:
Here it comes again if you listen close you’ll hear the splinters falling
broken window anger blown right through
Another fight another time, one more misunderstanding
deliberately laid out by you
Verse IV
There you again dust settles in you see yourself in daylight
do you find yourself wanting more?
now you wander aimless keep your silence shameless
build your house up on a grounded floor
Chorus:
500 miles to swim and 250 more to go before I drown
200 punches thrown only two more than it takes to knock me down
100 hearts betrayal, love only 5
Last Chorus:
500 paper cranes 100 more to try before you go
200 lies you told to 15 more years of growing old
100 shadows fallen – come slowly toward an all new low
This angel’s holding out for
500 tears here after
behind 2 eyes
