papercuts Lyrics
[Intro]
Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got papercuts
They wanted them, but they got us
Yeah, yeah, uh
[Verse 1]
Uh, sleepin' in, faked sick
Smoked a blunt, had a kid
Don't belong, I'm a punk
Hello world, you fuckin' suck
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey, hey, I'm dancin' on my grave
Mhmm, mhmm
[Verse 2]
Everybody's so nice lately (Everybody's not nice)
Polarized feelings, I don't wear them on my face lately
(I don't wear them on my face)
Internalized everything the headlines say lately
(Everything they say)
Demonized just because I was an angel face baby (Baby)
[Interlude]
Career suicide
[Chorus]
Hey, hey, keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey, hey, I'm dancin' on my grave
Mhmm, mhmm
[Post-Chorus]
Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got papercuts
They wanted them, but they got us
But they got us
Yeah, yeah
[Outro]

Kells shared in a promotional video for the 2021 Video Music Awards:

What is the story behind the music video?
I had this dream. When I wake up and I feel that something feels special, I’ll write it down. [..] When we have a dream, we don’t really recognise how much we’re letting our mind and imagination travel, not as much as we should. Those aren’t things we’re just typically thinking about. And at times w...
