Paper Thin Alibis

I can see the cracks in the paint

You're playing the sinner, you're playing the saint

The story is leaking, the water is high

Drowning in your own supply

You built a castle out of playing cards

Stacking the deck in your own backyard

You think you're clever, you think you're sly

But I can see the panic in your wandering eye

You recite the lines that you wrote in the dark

Trying to ignite a non-existent spark

The wind is picking up, the walls are shaking

I see the reality that you are faking

You're holding your breath, hoping I won't see

That there's nothing inside where a heart should be

Your paper thin alibis are tearing apart

I can see right through to your hollow heart

You're transparent, like glass in the sun

Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run

Don't tell me it's real when I know it's a lie

I'm ripping right through your paper thin alibi

I used to believe in the mask that you wore

But I don't buy the tickets to that show anymore

You're scrambling now, trying to patch up the holes

But you lost the script and you lost control

The ink is running, the pages are wet

This is as honest as you're gonna get

The wind is picking up, the walls are shaking

I see the reality that you are faking

You're holding your breath, hoping I won't see

That there's nothing inside where a heart should be

Your paper thin alibis are tearing apart

I can see right through to your hollow heart

You're transparent, like glass in the sun

Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run

Don't tell me it's real when I know it's a lie

I'm ripping right through your paper thin alibi

Did you think I was blind?

Did you think I was weak?

I'm the only one left who will let you speak!

So go ahead, tell me, spin me the tale

Before the wind rips the wind from your sail!

Your paper thin alibis are tearing apart

I can see right through to your hollow heart

You're transparent, like glass in the sun

Nowhere to hide and nowhere to run

Paper thin

Yeah, you're paper thin

See right through you
