Paper Crown - Alec Benjamin
A paper crown,

and a heart made of glass
A tattered gown, and her kingdom of ash
She walks alone,

she can never look bac...

I built a friend
With three pieces of plastic and a pen
I made him on the table in the den
I gave him my old cell phone for a head
For a head

There's gotta be a reason that I'm here on Earth
Gotta be a reason for the dust and the dirt
The changing of the seasons never changed my hurt

Don't lack imagination
I'm just too scared to try
Afraid that I won't make it

I’m not prepared for the future
So many things that I just don’t know
I cut my hair, bought a new shirt, new pair of shoes
It’s time to go, I finally ...

从这一刻看着未来，
熟悉的东西将变陌生，
我换上新的衣服再，
把门轻推开，这就是现在。

时间将过得更快，
重回昨日已不可能，
我不再是一个小孩，
他人的期待，我能明白。

日子只有这样过了，没有什么再好说的，
我也只是一个凡人有一天也会犯错的。
所有失去还有获得，都将只是人生过客，
学会就这样的活...

是魔鬼还是凡人

该说的都说了，却又再重来
他脆弱的苦果，让你受伤害
他的借口，莫须有，你早已明白
只是不知如何放手

你总想的多，可却从来不说
你要离去，只是不能够

是魔鬼还是凡人
他改变就在一瞬间
困惑冰冷的眼神
和逃不出的房间
他平静后的悔恨
只让你一次次无言
我也不想多问
你知道自己的苦痛...

From the kitchen to the bathroom sink and
Your steps keep me awake

我想着你的目光，
你带给我的温存，
让我放下伪装，一瞬间
就失去分寸。
可你把我留在这个房间，
独自一个人。
Now I don’t know.

当我收到你说要离开的消息，
我不禁想要抹去你留下的一切记忆，
可一幕幕的画面却已存留在我心里。
在我心里。

不能找出方向，
不能再胡思乱想，
可你曾给...

心是一座房子 逃离千百次
以为陌生城市 能够重新开始
可为什么影子在紧跟着我
叫我无法摆脱原来的样子

无处收藏的 是幻想 是脆弱、幼稚
无法安置的 是过去 和现在的事啊
无处安放的 是与生俱来的影子
无法抹掉的影子 无人取代的影子

想问那个影子 是否有名字
带着我的模样 陪伴我千万次
可它为何黑...

 The kind that makes me turn around and act like I'm not there
 The kind that takes...

He said
 "Take a seat over there, on the chair by the couch
 Tell me what you've been thinking about
 There's nothing you can say that's out of bounds...

Isn't it strange how nothing's changed?
How it's been years and years and you're still in my brain?
How the wounds heal, but I still feel the pain?
La...

If I could cut these seconds into pieces
 I'd find a place for us to hide
 In between the twos and threes

 I would stay with you forever
 But I shoul...

Her heart is wearing thin
The tattoos leave a mark
From everywhere she's been

She takes it on ...

I am slowly learning that the things you promised me
Are burning like the embers of a thousand willow trees
And every single secret has been broadcast...

In this masquerade, she can't feel the pain
Cover up her heart, with a little paint
While he's pulling out a flask, to hide it all away
There's nothin...

Jaana, tu aata nahin
 Sapno se jaata nahin
 Mil jaaye, kya hi baat thi

 I remember when you came to my house on that ...

Can I just hear it?
 Last call to the set do my make up
