Papercuts

[Verse 1]
Saving Grace from her own father
He's had six cigarettes and ten lagers
Lies in the classroom are getting darker
Belt buckle struggle, every day is getting harder
Shaking hands, broken heart, now sirens
Tinted glass, questions asked in a white room
So many ways to feel and see love, she said
"The love he gives me makes me feel numb"

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And on the days when you've had enough
I save these words for the people I love

[Chorus]
Mine are the hands you can trust
Scars from a time you were lost
Slowly the blade turns to rust
Remember, these aren't your fears, they're just paper-cuts

[Verse 2]
She had monsters too big to be demons
Prescribed medicine, can't define feelings
Memories replay and they stole her hope
She knew this day would come and that she'd be alone
Kitchen floor, on her own, no fight left
Heart beats, slow tears flow, last breath
Empty bottle on the floor as her eyes roll back

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Then there's a door slam, unknown footsteps
She hears her name as her hand hits the light switch
There's a voice here to help, new faces
Hand on a chest as she hears them say this

[Chorus]
Mine are the hands you can trust
Scars form a time you were lost
Slowly the blade turns to rust
Remember, these aren't your fears, they're just paper cuts

[Bridge]
When the pain goes away
And you feel like there's nothing behind you
The nightmares are gone
And there's nothing to keep you awake
And it's all over now
And it's all over now

[Chorus]
Mine are the hands you can trust
Scars form a time you were lost
And slowly the blade turns to rust
Remember, these aren't your fears, they're just paper cuts
