Paper Airplanes (Makeshift Wings-Correct) Lyrics

Raise high monolithic statues so fragile 

As they fall

I am ever enthralled

Gaze, lie and smirk in time

Your arrogance will suit you well

‘til fashion is dispelled

As waves of plastic flame go out of fashion

Your going out, going out forever unknown

These waves of plastic flame are drying up and I smile 

Because you're dying to become forever unknown

From above a rain of ashes descends

Anathema I will remain (forever will remain)

From below in my seclusion

Look up to the sky to see paper wings(see flames)

And watch it burn

Without habitation, you'll never find a soul inside

No life, but nothings died

No lights; but quite the show

Just as long as no one knows

All motion is pantomime

As waves of plastic flame go out of fashion

Your going out, going out forever unknown

These waves of plastic flame are drying up and I smile 

Because you're dying to become forever unknown

From above a rain of ashes descends

Anathema I will remain (forever will remain)

From below in my seclusion

Look up to the sky to see paper wings(see flames)

And watch it burn

Dancin in the rain of descending ash

Dancin on your grave

I'll see you all falling

Dancin in the rain of descending ash

Dancin on your dust

I'll see you all falling

I’d stop it, had you a heart

I’d stop it, had you a heart

From above a rain of ashes descends

Anathema I will remain (forever will remain)

From below in my seclusion

Look up to the sky to see paper wings(see flames)

And watch it burn

From above a rain of ashes descends

Anathema I will remain (forever will remain)

From below in my seclusion

Look up to the sky to see paper wings(see flames)

And watch it burn
