Papercuts
Acuity looking back
Doesn't benefit the past
Blind to a view that easily
Could be seen through
Deaf to alarms so clearly armed
To warn of harm
Were there a gun next to my ear
I'd say I these years
Broke and broken in the end
When something is a perfect match
It can be lit
Causing destruction, burn away
What should have fit
I justified it to myself
I've come this far
A question stings like paper cuts
All this for what?
Were there a gun next to my ear
I'd say I these years
Are there regrets, many severe?
Time spent will not reappear
Were there a gun next to my ear
I'd say I these years
Broke and broken in the end
Acuity looking back
Was it really worth the squeeze?
Sour tastes left with me
Going through motions achieved
Something I barely envied
Doesn't benefit the past
Blind to a view that easily
Could be seen through
Deaf to alarms so clearly armed
To warn of harm
Were there a gun next to my ear
I'd say I these years
Broke and broken in the end
When something is a perfect match
It can be lit
Causing destruction, burn away
What should have fit
I justified it to myself
I've come this far
A question stings like paper cuts
All this for what?
Were there a gun next to my ear
I'd say I these years
Are there regrets, many severe?
Time spent will not reappear
Were there a gun next to my ear
I'd say I these years
Broke and broken in the end
Acuity looking back
Was it really worth the squeeze?
Sour tastes left with me
Going through motions achieved
Something I barely envied
