Paper Dolls

Long walks on the beach past midnight
Long talks in the heat of the moonlight
Oh, isn’t this all so romantic?
Doesn’t it make you feel so enchanted?

Kissing lips and closing eyes
Grasping hips and groping thighs
Oh, isn’t this all so damn beautiful
Not at all in the least bit unusual

It’s all been just one big lie
Something lust fantasized
Make-believe happy life
When will you realize?

Cut me up
Cut me out
Cut me off
Cut me down
to size

But when will you realize?

Cut me up
Cut me out
Cut me off
Cut me down
to size

But when will you realize?

Sweet nothings whispered in your ear
Sweet bluffing that you love to hear
Oh, isn’t this all so ‘fairy-tale‘?
You just know all will come out well.

Lost voices through the atmosphere
Wrong choices that have lead you here
But you hate to be corrected
Still, this isn’t what you expected…

It’s all been just one big lie
Something lust fantasized
Make-believe happy life
When will you realize?

Cut me up
Cut me out
Cut me off
Cut me down
to size

But when will you realize?

Cut me up
Cut me out
Cut me off
Cut me down
to size

But when will you realize?

We’re all
Just paper dolls
Just waiting to be cut
From the team
To be stitched
To be cleaned
To be torn
To be seamed
To ripped
To believe
In something greater than the…

Than the pain of our lives
Than of our sacrifice
Than of these bloody knives
That you dispise

Something true
Something false
Something new
Something lost
To the ever deepening seas of despair…

It’s all been just one big lie
Something lust fantasized
Make-believe happy life
When will you realize?

Cut me up
Cut me out
Cut me off
Cut me down
to size

But when will you realize?
But when will you realize?
But when will you realize
It’s all a lie?!
