Cut Clean

[Intro]

(static)

[Verse 1]

Screen goes blue. Fan winds down.

Every window still wants me now.

Held the wire like a held breath,

counted down from one.

[Pre-Chorus]

And nobody made me do it,

nobody made me stay —

switch was under my thumb the whole time,

Cut it clean, cut it clean, I cut it clean and I ran

Static where the name was, that was the plan

Glitch mode on — I flipped it, it was mine

Four-oh-four, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine

[Verse 2]

Signal drops. City keeps time.

Cut it clean, cut it clean, I cut it clean and I ran

Static where the name was, that was the plan

Glitch mode on — I flipped it, it was mine

Four-oh-four, I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm fine

[Bridge]

One step out.

One step, and the light behind me

caught my shoulder like a hand.

I looked back.

(just once)

[Final Chorus]

Cut it clean, cut it clean — I cut it clean, but I turned

Static where the name was, and it burned

Glitch mode on, I flipped it, it was mine

Four-oh-four — I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm fine?
