about

This is the full band version of Paper Dolls, demoed fairly early on in the writing process for the album at Indian Trail Studios in Krum, TX, engineered by Alex Gerst. It ended up being stripped way back for the actual album to just vocals/guitar/strings. We all felt the stripped version had more power despite this rock version being quite strong. The first line of this song gave birth to the album title.

lyrics

swallow the pill they sold your father
bury your will for the sake of a dollar
understand the television
just like good americans do
bend and fold like paper dolls
sitcoms, re-runs, and talk show hosts
in this silent wake
with this quiet rage
at the turning of the century
in the twilight of our history
everyone is laughing at you
just like good americans do
