[Verse 1]
You walk in
Cheap cologne
Crooked grin
Talking big
Talking bad
Like that makes you some kind of king
Barstool throne
Plastic crown on your head
Flexing stories to your boys
Every word made of lead
[Chorus]
Paper bag bravado
You dress your shame in jokes
Laughing while you strike the match
Then disappear in smoke
Paper bag bravado
You think it makes you bold
But every punchline that you throw
Just tells the world you're cold
[Verse 2]
High-fives
As you cheapen someone’s name
Turn a person to a prop
Like that’s just part of the game
Mask on
But it’s not who you think
You’re the one hiding
Under every drink
[Chorus]
Paper bag bravado
You dress your shame in jokes
Laughing while you strike the match
Then disappear in smoke
Paper bag bravado
You think it makes you bold
But every punchline that you throw
Just tells the world you're cold
[Bridge]
What are you so scared to see?
Someone else
Or you and me?
Strip the mask
Drop the act
You’re the joke behind the laugh
[Chorus]
Paper bag bravado
Paper bag bravado
Paper bag bravado
