PAPERWEIGHT
Lyrics by Jon Shockness (Kid Astronaut)

Hook:
We're all prone to make mistakes
You got me stuck like a paperweight
When my demons they mixed with yours
All those nights I should've avoided you
We all prone to make mistakes
You crept in and I got swept away
All those nights I should've ignored you
Now I blame myself for what I got into

Verse One:
Damn
I can’t play the victim
But seeing this in hindsight
Would’ve did all this shit different
You embody evil
And I embody lost
I hate the thought of you but still you creep in all my thoughts
Never thought we’d end up in the way that it all ended
Should have known earlier to tap out when we finished
But after the fact I still stuck around
And you got me hurting from that right now

Chorus:
We all prone to make mistakes
You got me stuck like a paperweight
When my demons they mixed with yours
All those nights I should've avoided you
We all prone to make mistakes
You crept in and I got swept away
All those nights I should've ignored
Now I blame myself for what I got into

Verse Two:
Baby why the pain you left ain’t leaving
All up in my dreams and I’m still running from the feeling yeah
Probably think this shit here was a curse
But deep inside I know I got you worse
And I can’t complain cause it was once what I wanted
But I can’t lie your memory leaves me haunted
But I hope that you take me to your grave
Cause since you’re playing ghost
I’ll play the cryptkeeper babe
