Scissor Hands

by No Need For A Name   May 24, 2008


Don't you see
This is not how it's suppose to be
Don't you think
I'd break off the weakest link
Piece by piece
I break it off in broken dreams
Piece by piece
This is not how it's suppose to be

Don't you think I can handle my addiction
I can take it like a man
Slice me up like pieces of ribbon
Cut me up with your scissor hands

Can't you think
About nobody but yourself
Does it sink
The feeling that you've gone to far
Skip a beat
When you cry your eyeballs out
Skip a beat
Care about nobody else

Don't you think I can handle my addiction
I can take it like a man
Slice me up like pieces of ribbon
Cut me up with your scissor hands

Sit in the corner
Of this round room
Wait until you figure out
What till you come through
Why don't you come through
Why don't you come through
Why don't you come through

Don't you see
This is not how its suppose to be...

Don't you think I can handle my addiction
I can take it like a man
Slice me up like pieces of ribbon
Cut me up with your scissor hands

Piece by piece...skip a beat...piece by piece...skip a beat

    "Don't you think I can handle my addiction
    I can take it like a man
    Slice me up like pieces of ribbon
    Cut me up with your scissor hands"

    -I can actually imagine this in a metal/punk rock song. Apologies if you did not intend your lyrics to be metal or even punk rock, but I can imagine Sugarcult singing it and it was great.

    "Can't you think
    About nobody but yourself
    Does it sink
    The feeling that you've gone to far
    Skip a beat
    When you cry your eyeballs out
    Skip a beat
    Care about nobody else"

    -I really don't like the word "eyeballs" in this stanza. Other than that, awesome.

    "Sit in the corner
    Of this round room
    Wait until you figure out
    What till you come through
    Why don't you come through
    Why don't you come through
    Why don't you come through"

    -I like the repetition of the last sentence. A lot. More than I thought I would.

    "Piece by piece...skip a beat...piece by piece...skip a beat "

    -My favorite part of this poem.
