Lyrics "Paper and Pen"

[Playmaker]

Anyone have the lyrics to this song?

[Ian Hafezi]

alright so this all i got so far...im gonna be missing stuff tho.

This whole routine is getting old
so am i, and so are you
my reputation lets me know, that i can do whatever i want to.
Though it seems ??????, you can do whatever it is you please.

Now before, now before you wind up on your knees.

Don't cry to me...no more
You like the way the people ??? you now
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And your all the same and when the curtain drops down.
You'll be replaced by something typical.

you set yourself up to be sold.
And that's okay cause that's your role
Maybe if ??? takes it toll
What will you do when nobody wants you?
Though it sometimes you may live
You can do whatever it is you please

not before, not before you wind up on your knees.

Don't cry to me...no more
You like the way the people ??? you now
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And your all the same and when the curtain drops down.
You'll be replaced by something typical.

I know i spent so long beside you
and i know i should have left you right where i had found you
and i know i spent so long beside you
and i know i should have left you right where i had found you

2x
You like the way the people ??? you now
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And your all the same and when the curtain drops down.
You'll be replaced by something typical.

This whole routine is getting old
so am i, and so are you
my reputation lets me know, that i can do whatever i want to.
Though it seems that you ?behave?, you can do whatever it is you please.

Now before, now before you wind up on your knees.

Don't cry to me...no more
You like the way the people stare at you now
You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And your all the same and when the curtain drops down.
You'll be replaced by something typical.

you set yourself up to be sold.
And that's okay cause that's your role
Maybe if ??? takes it toll
What will you do when nobody wants you?
Though it sometimes you may live
You can do whatever it is you please

Don't cry to me...no more

You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And your all the same and when the curtain drops down.
You'll be replaced by something typical.

I know i spent so long beside you
and i know i should have left you right where i had found you
and i know i spent so long beside you
and i know i should have left you right where i had found you

2x

You look so fake, just thought that you should know
And your all the same and when the curtain drops down.
You'll be replaced by something typical.

Though it seems that you believe you can do whatever it is you please.

Now before, now before you wind up on your knees.

Don't cry to me...no more

'and all before

and all before you wind up on your knees'

[Ian Hafezi]

im pretty sure its now, but we can only wait till rja actually releases them. thanks for the corrections tho spaino.

[Stephanie]

[Ian Hafezi]

[Just_A_Face]

It's called "Pen and Paper"!!!!

[Stephanie]

This whole routine is getting old,
So am I, and so are you.
My reputation lets me know, that I can do, whatever I want to.
Though it seems, that you believe, you can do whatever it is you please.

Now before; now before you wind up on your knees..

[Chorus]
Don't cry to me, no more.
You like the way the people stare at you - now
You look so fake, just thought that you should know.
And you're all the same, and when the curtain drops - down
You'll be replaced by something typical.

You set yourself up to be sold,
And that's okay; 'cause that's your role.
Manipulation takes its toll. What will you do, when nobody wants you?
Though it seems, that you believe, you can do whatever it is you please.

Now before; now before you wind up on your knees..

[Chorus]

I know I stood so long beside you,
And I know, I should have left you right where I had found you.
I know I stood so long beside you,
And I know, I should have left you right where I had found you.

You like the way the people stare at you now
You look so fake; just thought that you should know.
And you're all the same, and when the curtain drops - down
You'll be replaced by something typical.

You like the way the people stare at you - now
You look so fake; just thought that you should know.
And you're all the same, and when the curtain drops - down
You'll be replaced by something typical.

I think that's pretty much it. I may not be right, and I'm probably not, but "And all before" doesn't make any sense what-so-ever in that context. It has to be "Now before" simply because it's implying that before the Record Producers and other Music orienated staff drop on their knees to beg for forgiveness, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus are telling them not to cry to them about it. As you can see:

"Now before, now before you wind up on your kness - Don't cry to me, no more."

Suits it a lot better than:

"And all before, all before you wind up on your knees - Don't cry to me, no more."

It's also better suited than:

"Not before, not before you wind up on your knees - Don't cry to me, no more."

Only "Now before" makes any sense at all, this is a pre-chorus, which obviously leads into the chorus and works with it. So if it's not "Now before" I'll be very surprised.

It was also "stood so long beside you" not "spent so long beside you".

Some things are difficult to hear as this is only a rough demo and the song will probably be quite different when it's officially released. But the things I'm having most trouble with are determining things such as "I" or "I've" as it really sounds like he could be saying either of them in some places.
