Snip. Snip. Snip.
Watch as I
cut away my tears,
my fears
my pain
Dropping the world around me,
I bring the scissors up
to my head

Snip. Snip. Snip.
There goes my hair
black and soft...
Gently brushing my wet check
as it falls in waves to the floor
(it looks like a sea of black)

Snip. Snip. Snip.
Look…
I’m cutting away all my sorrows
All my wishes and dreams
I’m cutting away my entire life
just so I can be free…
(free from you)

Snip. Snip. Snip.
The tears run down my face and
into the deep gashes on my arm
It’s like rubbing salt into deep bleeding wounds…
It burns and stings, but I can’t turn back
(you won’t let me)

Snip. Snip. Snip.
And I wish I could erase and cut away time…
Cut away everything that happened
because I hate living with these memories
These thoughts, these nightmares
and I wish I could give them all away
(but who’s willing to take them?)

Snip. Snip. Snip.
Watch as I
Cut away my tears
Watch as I
Cut away your smiles
Watch as I
Cut away from you entirely
(but of course,
you always seem to drag me back in)
