I write in many different styles. I don't care for "Genre" tags, I care if the music sounds good. Are the lyrics good? Check out the different albums here because each of them (34) have their own style. If your like me your music tastes are all over the map. We all just want good music. You will find good music here.

Lyrics

Verse 1
Paper crown, magazine gold
Tape it on, do what you’re told
One night tall, ten feet high
Morning comes, you’re cut to size

Verse 2
Flashbulbs burn, faces blur
Love feels loud when it’s borrowed
Hold the pose, don’t let go
They don’t cheer when you’re whole

[Solo

Verse 3
Name in lights, name erased
Cheered for flaws they love to taste
If you bleed, they scream your name
If you heal, it’s not the same

Chorus
Paper crown parade
March till it breaks
Kings for a heartbeat
Trash by daybreak
Paper crown parade
Smile through the weight
They don’t want you better
They want you great

Bridge
Don’t slow down, don’t look away
Fall in time, make it play
Shiny cracks, borrowed brave
Stay sick, stay saved

Chorus
Paper crown parade
Drums decay
Crowns don’t fit forever
They wash away
Paper crown parade
Bow, then fade
Applause lasts longer
Than the pain

Outro
Confetti in the rain
Gold turns gray
Paper crowns
Blown away
