Scissors Lyrics by Lysistrata

Breathe In/Out

2019

[Chorus 1]
Jab jab like needles in my shirt
Stab stab from spies round every turn
It's hard to keep the scissors away from the puzzles
It's hard to keep the truth in one whole piece

[Verse 1]
Make me a film start
What kind of film start?
You breaking this super star
I don't love this super start

[Chorus 2]
I'm not ready for that
Not ready for that
Not ready for that

Jab jab like needles in my shirt
Stab stab from spies round every turn
It's hard to keep the scissors away from the puzzles
It's hard to keep the truth in one whole piece

[Verse 2]
Make me a doll
Your own secret toy
Part of a collection
A secret collection

[Chorus 3]
I'm not ready for that
Not ready for that
Not ready for that

And I could not expose what I've been through
By fear they'd leak it all told backwards
And if I were to tell them anything
It'd be all over my back the very next day

Very next day
Very next day
Very next day

And I could not expose what I've been through
By fear they'd leak it all told backwards
And if I were to tell them anything
It'd be all over my back the very next day

Keep it all inside, keep it all inside
Just a pretty face, just a pretty face
Keep it all inside, keep it all inside
Just a pretty face, just a pretty face

[Verse 3]
I never expected
To ever need you for something like this it's weird

It's like I wake from a bad dream but the bruises are real
And a stranger has made me their fishes aquarium

I'm not ready for that
Did you have to
Bring the whole family to the bed?
I don't like it

And their concern only turns the knife in the wound
And they're staring at me like I'm full of cancer

[Chorus 4 x12]
I breathe in, I breathe out

[Outro]
And I could not expose what I've been through
By fear they'd leak it all told backwards
And if I were to tell them anything
It'd be all over my back the very next day

Jab jab like needles in my shirt
Stab stab from spies round every turn
It's hard to keep the scissors away from the puzzles
It's hard to keep the truth in one whole piece
