Biografia:
Faded Paper Figures began, like all great endeavors, as a side-project. Writing songs between dissertation chapters and frenetic bouts of southern California traffic, John (vocals/guitars) and Kael (guitars/keys/machines) were simply looking for an aesthetic and rigorous diversion.

[Intro]
C F
[Verse 1]
C
Glass ceilings falling on you
C F
Like the blessings of a choice when it's the only way
C
Last night I thought I saw you
C F
With a drink, and friends, you said you go there everyday
F
Then I hear you say
C
Wicked television screen, Rockefeller energy, politician guarantee
C F
Stupid corporate synergy, MSNBC jerks, messing with the young turks
F C
Yogi hippiography, sell us immortality, PhD without a gig
C
Dirty, broken drill rig, bible basher black belt, bankers buck a short sell
F
Kurzweil on a pill kick, handing down a pink slip, missionaries at the door
F C
Bleeding out at every pore, democratic fail safe, money gets you in the game
C
Money gets you in the game, money gets you in the game
[Chorus]
Am C F
Yeah, it's hard but it's not the end of the world (even as we know it)
Am C F
Yeah, it's so hard but it's not the end of the world (even as we know it)
[Interlude]
Em G
F C
[Verse 2]
F
Good gods abandoning you
F C
Like a pain that fades when it's no longer in your way
F
No collective dreams to guide you
C
Have another drink, I think you'll be here everyday
C
Then I hear you say
F
Kiss and tell apocalypse, psychopharmacologists, target demographic lies
F C
Revolution improvised, artificial bleeding heart, superficial work of art
C F
Conjure up the word of God, complicated voter fraud, Buddha-heads will save the day
F
Calculate the DNA, mindless droning, human rights, shoppers camping overnight
C
The world's a business powerplay, money gets you in the game
C
Money gets you in the game, money gets you in the game
[Chorus]
Am C F
Yeah, it's hard but it's not the end of the world (even as we know it)
Am C F
Yeah, it's so hard but it's not the end of the world (even as we know it)
