[Verse] Whispers float on city streets, Underneath the fading lights, Paper crowns and broken dreams, Stumble through the silent fights. [Pre-Chorus] Fingers trace the edges worn, Ink that never washed away, We’re the kings and queens of nowhere, Running wild, come what may. [Chorus] Runaway parade, caught in the haze, Bruised knees but we stay unafraid, Dancing shadows in the night’s cascade, Paper crowns won’t ever fade. Runaway parade, lost but we stay, Holding on to the dreams we made, Through the thunder, through the rain, Paper crowns won't break again. [Verse] Echoes in the vacant halls, Promises we couldn’t keep, Bleeding hearts and whispered calls, Chasing ghosts that never sleep. [Pre-Chorus] Fingers trace the edges worn, Ink that never washed away, We’re the kings and queens of nowhere, Running wild, come what may. [Chorus] Runaway parade, caught in the haze, Bruised knees but we stay unafraid, Dancing shadows in the night’s cascade, Paper crowns won’t ever fade. Runaway parade, lost but we stay, Holding on to the dreams we made, Through the thunder, through the rain, Paper crowns won't break again. [Bridge] Breathless in the midnight air, Silent vows we’re meant to wear, Falling, rising, all the same, Playing life’s eternal game. [Chorus] Runaway parade, caught in the haze, Bruised knees but we stay unafraid, Dancing shadows in the night’s cascade, Paper crowns won’t ever fade. Runaway parade, lost but we stay, Holding on to the dreams we made, Through the thunder, through the rain, Paper crowns won't break again. [Outro] Paper crowns... worn with grace, Runaway dreams we still embrace, In the quiet after the storm, We are fearless, we are warm.
