Paper Wings - VoxTerra

"Every breath felt like a heavy stone..." 🌑

Paper Wings is a haunting journey through fragile dreams and the harsh reality of being grounded. This track blends a deep, neo-noir atmosphere with raw, introspective rap, exploring the thin line between soaring and shattering.

When the sky turns gray and the ink starts to bleed, sometimes the wings we build just aren't strong enough to carry the weight.

"I tried to soar, I tried to sing... but I’m grounded by these paper wings."

🎧 Experience the nocturnal mood. Best enjoyed with headphones.

[ LYRICS ]
(Whispering: Paper wings... yeah... just paper wings...)

[Verse 1]
I built a castle out of paper wings
Fragile walls and threadbare strings
The wind whispered, it knew my name
But it left me here, just the same
Every breath felt like a heavy stone
Building a kingdom, but I’m all alone.

[Chorus]
Paper wings, they never fly
They tear apart when you ask why
I tried to soar, I tried to sing
But I’m grounded by these paper wings

[Verse 2]
The sky was painted in a fading gray
Dreams I had just blew away
Every step felt like a losing game
But I walked it, I played it, all the same
Counting the scars like they’re stars in the night
Losing the vision, I’m losing the sight.

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you hear the sound of falling dreams?
Shattering like glass in silent screams
(Screams... silent screams...)

[Chorus]
Paper wings, they never fly
They tear apart when you ask why
I tried to soar, I tried to sing
But I’m grounded by these paper wings

[Verse 3]
Look,
I’m writing my life on a napkin, folding the pain
Trying to run but I’m stuck in the lane
The ink is bleeding, it’s soaked in the rain
I’m calling for help, but I’m calling in vain
They told me to fly, they gave me the tools
But a paper plane is for dreaming fools
I’m ripping the pages, I’m burning the book
Take a second, just stop, and look!

[Bridge]
I folded my heart into a tiny crane
Hoping it would rise above the rain
But every fold left a deeper crease
A broken heart that found no peace.

[Chorus]
Paper wings, they never fly
They tear apart when you ask why
I tried to soar, I tried to sing
But I’m grounded by these paper wings

[Outro]
Just paper...
Nothing but paper...
I’m still grounded...
(Sound of paper ripping)
...Peace.
