Paperfriend — Cut The Strings (official audio)

Cut The Strings is our second single of 2021, and thematically it is in keeping with My Life’s Work in that it is about trying to break free from a toxic friendship.

There’s no music video for this one at the moment as we can’t get together during lockdown, but we will get around to making one when we can!

LYRICS:

I’ve sharpened my scissors
And brought a knife for backup
I’m no longer your puppet
There’s a whole new world out there

And I’d like to see it
From a different perspective
Turned out you betrayed me

I’m fed up (stop backstabbing me)
I’m fed up (stop backstabbing me)
How the hell do I break free?
It’s time to cut the strings
But it’s harder than it seems

I’ve practiced the fine art
Of destroying my things
I’ve decided my future
I need to burn everything

I need to start again
With a different perspective
Turned out you deceived me

I’m fed up (stop backstabbing me)
I’m fed up (stop backstabbing me)
How the hell do I break free?
It’s time to cut the strings
But it’s harder than it seems

The skeleton is breathing again
It’s broken free from your closet

I’m fed up (stop backstabbing me)
I’m fed up (stop backstabbing me)
How the hell do I break free?
It’s time to cut the strings

I’m fed up (stop backstabbing me)
I’m fed up (stop backstabbing me)
I’m fed up (stop backstabbing me)
But it’s harder than it seems
