Papercuts Lyrics

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 papercuts;
"All this for what?"

Were there a gun next to my ear
I’d say I these years
Are there regrets, many severe?
Times spent will not reappear
Were there a gun next to my ear
I’d say I wasted 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
