Cardboard Crown

[Verse]
You wear your crown of cardboard pride
With eyes so closed tight
To the world outside
Every truth bends
Every fact hides
Point your finger
Crack a grin
You think you always win
You think you always win
[Chorus]
The mirror laughs back
Oh, oh it only laughs at you
Every joke you throw cuts you in two
You’re the fool but you can’t see
You call it wisdom, we call it idiocy
We call it idiocy
[Verse 2]
Your words like shouts in an empty jar
You think you’re the sun
You think you're a star
But really, you're just falling fast
And no one cares who you are
So point your finger
Crack that grin
You think you always win
You think you always win
[Chorus]
The mirror laughs back
Oh, oh it only laughs at you
Every joke you throw cuts you in two
You’re the fool but you can’t see
You call it wisdom,
We call it idiocy
We call it idiocy
