Lyrics
Scissors
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I play doctor for five minutes flat
Before I cut my heart open, and let the air out
Three bugs, a pound of dust
Some wind spilled before me
In the strangest manner that had
Broke away my tear spout
As I lie there
With my tongue spread wide open
A black widow had offered me
A sweetheart tube, as I injected
The candied heart that I selected
She said don't hesitate
Just do what you have to do to me
It's hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just 'cuz I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway
Just let the blood run red 'cuz I can't feel
It's hard to stay between the lines of skin
Just 'cuz I have nerves, don't mean that I can feel
I wasn't very much fun to be with anyway
Just let the blood run red 'cuz I can't feel
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time, it's time!
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time, it's time!
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time, it's time!
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time until the time is right
Biding my time, it's time!
Biding? (My time)
Biding? (My time)
Biding? (My time)
Biding?
You! You! You! You!
Someone in behind me
Someone inside me
Everyone against me
Everyone beside me
Clawing away the pieces
Scratching away the absence
One more, two more
Everyone once more
One more, two more
Everyone once more
Inside the places that I hide from you
I want to see you splayed before me
You are the only one
That I would rather see, before me
You want it! You need it!
You want it! You need it!
You want it! Do you need it?
You want it! You need it!
Don't run!
I die, you run, I had no heart!
I don't want you to pay anyone!
Wanna die!
I wanna die!
I'd rather die!
I wanna die!
You purge!
You burn!
You bitch!
I don't? Need? You? Anymore!
I don't need you!
No time!
