Paper Cities - Other Lives

We sent them all

Across the ocean

Many life

We're taken

Well I didn't cry

I didn't know them

And I just looked on

With no expression

This land was once a home

Of friends and family

We used to know

They are all gone now

They are now gone

And for what

I cannot tell

Put down

Your banners and flowers

This war you've made

Won't last

Your country

Just lines on a map

They're drawn up

They don't last

Hmmm

Hmmm

The paper cities burning

The ashes fell like rain

But when the fire was over

Everything had changed

The people come together

Reminds us we're the same

Hmmm

Hmmm

Put down

Banners and flowers

This war you've made

Won't last

And your country

Just lines on a map

They're drawn up

They don't last

Hmmm
