lyrics

Don’t cut the cord
I’m hardly hanging on
There’s been a knock at my door
They’re gonna try and burn me down

And its you that I’m gonna need
When the static is all I see
Just thank god I’m not gonna breathe
All the lies they’re gonna bleed

And I’ve been
Searching for something to do
Just to keep myself right
Searching for something to do
Just to keep myself right

Whats your truth
Whats your fiction
Under my skin
Left behind

And I can handle myself

Stand up straight
A pre-owned smile
The static has been taken from our broken eyes
And I can handle myself

Cause I’ve been searching
Searching for something to do
Just to keep myself right
Searching for something to do
Just to keep myself right

I could have sworn that I’d cut the cord
I could have sworn that I’d cut the cord
I could have sworn that I’d cut the cord
I could have sworn that I’d cut the cord
