My Paper Sky

(Douglas Butler)

An uplifting anthem of escape and imagination with an immediately memorable, chant-like chorus ("This is my paper sky"). The lyric translates the joy of finding peace in a story into a cathartic, high-energy hook. Excellent for Indie Pop, Uplifting Pop/Rock, or Anthemic Festival tracks.

[Verse 1] 
 I slip between the pages like a tide, 
 Ink like stars is pulling me inside. 
 A velvet place, a quiet room to hide— 
 No noise, no weight, just drifting with the tide. 
[Chorus] (big, chant-like) 
 This is my paper sky— 
 Stories sail, and troubles fly. 
 Lift me up where the world feels light, 
 I’m safe in my paper sky. 
[Verse 2] 
 There’s a chair beneath a golden beam, 
 It hums my name in the hush of a dream. 
 Clouds mark time in an afternoon spell, 
 Every cover hides a world where wonder dwells. 
[Chorus] (repeat, with harmonies) 
 This is my paper sky— 
 Stories sail, and troubles fly. 
 Lift me up where the world feels light, 
 I’m safe in my paper sky. 
[Bridge] (builds, with handclaps / layered voices) 
 Leather spines and whispers old,
