Paper Cuts

from Sunburnt Shadows by Polygon Palace

lyrics

You got the deep paper cuts now and what hurts more
An empty in-tray
On an empty office floor
Swimming in lemon juice, soon you'll be running the show
That's if you let go

You said:
This is a role that I care a lot about
I have experience in a similar field
Solid approach to achieving objectives
Results oriented
Focusing on high yield

That's it (Waiting for the big man)
I quit (To tell him about the big plan)
Phase shift (I've sweated for my last pound, it's no secret, I'm going for a take-down)

Well there's the burnt ink toner and burnt out eyes
Same old story
Shiny new blue tie
Feeding all the hungry machines and you'll be racking your brain
I think it's jammed again

They say:
This is a role you must care a lot about
Have you experience in a similar field?
Solid approach to achieving objectives
Results oriented, focusing on high yield?

Pencils and pixels and binary bits
All hand pushed by the wits of the daydreamers
So glassy-eyed

Bathe in the striplight glow
Strobing your heart
Breathe in the cool grey air and know you'll never stray far
Twitching at desks if we could only get out
And see all the things that we've read about

Predator to prey
The knives are out now
The giants fall to the feed the new sound
Paper cuts again
The knives are out now
The giants fall to feed the new sound
