Lyrics
[Epic guitar intro]
**Verse 1:**
They told us tales of glory, of battles bravely fought
Said heroes stand among us, just give it one more thought
But when the smoke had settled, and we saw the morning light
The faces of our saviors had vanished in the night
[Guitar riff]
**Chorus, melodic and emotive**
They're made of paper lies, crumbling in the rain
Promises like whispers, drowning in our pain
We looked for something real, but all we found were sighs
Our heroes were just stories, made of paper lies
[Continued guitar riff]
**Verse 2:**
We built them up with honor, with courage and with grace
But underneath the legends, there was an empty space
The words we clung to tightly, like ribbons in the wind
Fell apart so gently, just when we thought we'd win
[Drop]
**Chorus, melodic and emotive**
They're made of paper lies, crumbling in the rain
Promises like whispers, drowning in our pain
We looked for something real, but all we found were sighs
Our heroes were just stories, made of paper lies
[Epic guitar solo]
**Bridge, reflective**
In the fires of our longing, they turned to ash and dust
We learned that even idols can betray our trust
The dreams that we were chasing, dissolved before our eyes
Left us in the shadows, beneath the paper skies
[Drum roll]
**Chorus, melodic and emotive**
They're made of paper lies, crumbling in the rain
Promises like whispers, drowning in our pain
We looked for something real, but all we found were sighs
Our heroes were just stories, made of paper lies
**Outro:**
So now we write our own songs, of truth and what remains
Of courage in the quiet, and hearts that bear the strains
No more paper heroes, no more empty cries
We'll be our own saviors, tearing through the lies
[Epic guitar outro]
