Paper Thin - Peter Katz

I can barely even talk about it now

But I don’t know any other way out

I have pushed myself so hard for all the years

Still it’s not clear, what for

All the roads I drive no longer lead me home

I could fill an ocean with all that I don’t know

I was safer in the insides of those walls

But that’s not all there is

I know everything falls apart

Just wasn’t ready for life to hit that hard

Like the narrow space between the start and the end

Or the mirror that is now and then

Or the insides that are showing through my skin

They’re paper thin

Whn your biggest fear, it ends up coming tru

That’s when you find out what you have inside of you

I am braver than I ever could have known

These days have shown that to me

I know everything falls apart

Just wasn’t ready for life to hit that hard

Like the narrow space between the start and the end

Or the mirror that is now and then

Or the insides that are showing through my skin

They’re paper thin

I feel my eyes adjusting to the dark

I can see the light of far-off stars

If I let myself get far enough away

From the city of our lives

Like the hold I never really have

I’m getting older, it’s not all in my hands

But I will not be afraid

Of the insides that are showing through my skin

I’m paper thin

I’m paper thin now

I’m paper thin now

I’m paper thin
