Paper House
Echoes of Despair: Avery Ogden's Melodic Reflections on Struggle and Resilience
Lyrics
I fold the creases to my paper house
I create the folds in my paper house
I fill the rooms and halls with all my doubts
I populate the rooms and halls with my uncertainties
If it makes me weep, I'll burn the sheets
If it causes me sadness, I'll destroy the evidence
I'll turn the streets until I'm found
I'll wander the streets until I'm discovered
But the winds keep coming down
Despite my efforts, challenges persist
And the walls are caving now
The walls of my paper house are collapsing
And my foundations bleeding bleeding
My foundations are in pain and suffering
It's bleeding yeah
The pain is intense
And the home was never sound
The supposed sanctuary was never stable
And it's all so fucking loud
The chaos is overwhelming
And I can't shake this feeling feeling
I can't escape this intense emotion
This feeling yeah
This emotion is profound
I'll mold my common sounds to calm me down I'll mend the hurt inside with word of mouth
I adapt my ordinary sounds to pacify myself and heal emotional wounds
I know what I'm supposed to be
I understand what I'm expected to become
Don't know how to find my scene
I'm unsure how to discover my identity
I don't really want to go now
I'm reluctant to proceed
And when the timings right, I'll build again This time I've got a plan, with walls so thin Cause I've learned my lesson
When the time is right, I'll rebuild, this time with fragile boundaries
It doesn't get better
Improvement doesn't occur
When I try to force things to mend
Forcing things to improve only worsens the situation
I know I'll find hope in love
I believe love will bring hope
Hope it's enough but
Hoping it will be sufficient, but uncertain
Why do I feel so alone?
Feeling a profound sense of isolation
It's all I know
Loneliness is familiar
But the winds keep coming down
Challenges persist despite my efforts
And the walls are caving now
The walls of my paper house are collapsing
And my foundations bleeding bleeding
My foundations are in pain and suffering
It's bleeding yeah
The pain is intense
And the home was never sound
The supposed sanctuary was never stable
And it's all so fucking loud
The chaos is overwhelming
And I can't shake this feeling feeling
I can't escape this intense emotion
This feeling yeah
This emotion is profound
