Papercuts is the first single from Machine Gun Kelly’s sixth studio album, Born with Horns.
Much like Kelly’s prior album, Tickets to My Downfall, the song features Travis Barker on drums and as a music producer. The song was first released on August 11, 2021, though Kelly had released a small teaser of the track in the week prior to the song and album’s reveal.
? Machine Gun Kelly – Papercuts ? Lyrics:
Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got papercuts
They wanted them, but they got us
Yeah, yeah, uh
Uh, sleeping in, faked sick
Smoked a blunt, had a kid
Don’t belong, I’m a punk
Hello world, you fuckin’ suck
Hey, hey, keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey, hey, I’m dancing on my grave
Mhmmmm, mhmmmm
Everybody’s so nice lately
(Everybody’s not nice)
Polarized feelings, I don’t wear them on my face lately
(I don’t wear them on my face)
Internalized everything the headlines say lately
(Everything they say)
Demonized just because I was an angel face baby
(Baby!)
Hey, hey, keep my mouth shut and wave
Hey, hey, I’m dancing on my grave
Mhmmmm, mhmmmm
Bleach my hair, mess it up
Take my life, dress it up
Signed a deal, I got papercuts
They wanted them, but they got us
But they got us
Yeah, yeah
Hey
