Paper thin words
I always find
Paper thin smiles
I always see the contemptuous truth
Paper thin walls
I always hear the whispers through

Paper thin masks
they never see through
Paper thin lies
they never cease to believe
Paper thin girl
they never keep from walking all over me

I felt I needed to get the feeling of being unwanted or being help in contempt off my chest.
