[INTRO]

[Light percussive taps, hi-hat rolls]
[Subtle wind/ambient sounds to set a fragile, introspective mood]
[sung softly, almost whispery]
“I’ve been folding myself / Into pieces too small to hold
The weight of the world / Pressing down, breaking my soul”
[Beat: Minimal at first, maybe just soft kick or sub-bass hint]
[VERSE 1]
[Sparse synths, soft pluck melodies]
[Finger snaps or light hi-hats]
[Vocals intimate, slightly reverbed]
“I’m a paper heart in a stormy sky
Fragile lines that tear when I try
Shadows of doubt all around me
But somewhere inside, I can feel me”
[Beat: Low-energy kick, subtle rhythmic pulse]
[PRE-CHORUS]
[Rising arpeggios, Layered synth pads building tension, Snare roll or riser sound to signal buildup]
“Every fall, every fear
Brings me closer, brings me here
I feel the wind beneath my skin
Whispering, it’s time to begin”
[CHORUS / FIRST DROP]
[Full festival-ready lead synth, Punchy 4/4 kick drum, driving bassline, Euphoric chords layered with vocals, Bright pluck or bell melody on top]
“Even paper wings can fly
Through the storm and through the sky
Fragile hearts, we’ll find our way
Rising higher every day”

[VERSE 2]
[Return to softer instrumentation, but with a hint of underlying energy, Introduce subtle guitar or vocal layering for emotional depth]
“Every scar tells a story untold
Pieces of silver in the shadows of gold
I’ve stumbled, I’ve burned, I’ve learned
Wings of paper, now ready to turn”
[PRE-CHORUS 2]

Lifts me higher, into the light
I feel the world shift beneath my wings
Hear the song that freedom sings”

Drowning in the night, paying the cost
But now I see, I believe
Even paper wings can breathe”
