Papercut Skin
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.
Day out, day in
It's the alarm versus me
and the snooze button wins.
I've been waking all my life
to become what I'm going to be.
I'm a crow, la da da da da da
A headstone
Day out, day in
and begin again
Day out, day in
recycle bins
cash out, cash in
debit pins
day out, day in
the paper cuts my skin again
skin again
Cash out, cash in
I can burn all I earn
on some weakness or whim
without thinking
I'm a mark for their marketing plans
I'm Americancer
A Myspace romancer
Cash out, cash in
and begin again
Day out, day in
recycle bins
Cash out, cash in
debit pins
Day out, day in
the paper cuts my skin again
skin again
Day out, day in
Vitamins
Get out, get in
Vicodin
Day out, day in
the paper cuts my skin again
skin again
skin again
skin again
All ye, all ye, come home free
Ollie Ollie oxen free
Day in, day out
I call time out
All ye, all ye, come home free
Ollie Ollie oxen free
Day in, day out
I call time out
I call time out
Give out, give in
If a man's hands show his trade does it suit me then
This papercut skin that makes me wince with each hand
I'm required to
shake, shake, shake, shake
Day out, day in
recycle bins
cash out cash in
debit pins
Day out, day in
the paper cuts my skin again
skin again
Day out, day in
Vitamins
Get out, get in
Vicodin
Day out, day in
the paper cuts my skin again
skin again
skin again
skin again
I call time out
Ollie Ollie oxen free
