Cut Lyrics - Singles - Kara Johnstad

Film changes 

As our LIFE rearranges 

As it 

RIPS 

Into pieces 

And we MOVE 

All the boxes 

Filled with 

DREAMS 

And lost wishes 

Filled with BOOKS 

And old dishes 

Down the 

STAIRS 

To containers 

We are Through 

A no brainer 

As we 

WATCH 

Friends make silent bets 

Say 

BYE 

To our favorite pets 

Say 

BYE 

To the empty walls 

(Backing track happy home sounds kids laughing dinner talk etc) 

My BELLY aches as I recall 

The 

PROMISE you made to me 

A Home and a family 

CUT 

And ACTION 

Now its only 

DIRT 

and some garbage bags 

a SHIRT and some cleaning rags 

We SUCK up the grime and dust 

We SIFT through respect and trust 

CUT 

Silence.,and ACTION 

TEARS 

And yet no more doubts 

We are THROUGH 

I feel so wrung out 

No FIGHT 

As it sickers in 

This is a 

LOSERS game 

Where no one wins 

The PRICE 

Is too high to pay 

Just close your eyes 

And walk away 

CUT 

HOLD 

QUIET ON SET 

OK 

ACTION! 

WHY 

Does this hurt so much 

Empty Hearts 

No human touch 

GONE 

Gone forever more 

NO GOING BACK 

I close the door 

ALONE 

You are on the phone 

Business to take care of, love 

Can you get that bag of trash thanks hon. 

CUT 

That was a wrap
