These are my lyrics for Paper Armor, sung by Miles. I’m sharing the words here; a separate songwriter introduction is not available for this song.

Lyrics

[Verse 1] (quiet) Rain is soaking through my jacket Ink is bleeding through the page They call me solid, call me steady I'm just paper, not steel [Chorus] (loud) This is my paper armor Tears but never breaks Fold it, soak it, burn it It still holds its shape [Verse 2] (quiet) I wore steel until it cracked Borrowed armor never fits Funny how the thing I hid Is the thing that never quits [Chorus] (loud) This is my paper armor Tears but never breaks Fold it, soak it, burn it It still holds its shape [Bridge] (pull back) You can see right through it That's the whole design Tear it — I don't mind The light gets in just fine [Final Chorus] (biggest) This is our paper armor Tears but never breaks Fold it, soak it, burn it It still holds its shape Bend, don't break
