[Intro - Instrumental] (low strings, slow pulse accelerating into a frantic heartbeat rhythm) [Verse 1] Don't tell me to hang on when there's nothing left You're holding the line, but the line's become a noose Give it up, give it up — let it loose [Chorus] Just cut the cord! You've got nothing to lose if you just cut the cord! Snip the wire and kill the power Just cut the cord! The tension is breaking, so what are you waiting for? Let it drop, and make it stop Just cut the cord! [Verse 2] You're in the wrong, and I'm doing nothing right Two figures colliding in the dead of night You won't face what's in front of you A masterclass in hesitation, through and through You're staring at the edge like it's solid ground But that door was never locked — it just needs a sound [Chorus] Just cut the cord! You've got nothing to lose if you just cut the cord! Snip the wire and kill the power Just cut the cord! The tension is breaking, so what are you waiting for? Let it drop, and make it stop Just cut the cord! [Bridge] Wake up, wake up (the room is burning) Wake up, wake up (the tide is turning) Wake up, wake up, WAKE UP! (you're not facing the situation) [Instrumental Solo] (dissonant solo violin, sul ponticello, fast irregular rhythm, no clear meter) [Chorus] Just cut the cord! You've got nothing to lose if you just cut the cord! Snip the wire and kill the power Just cut the cord! The tension is breaking, so what are you waiting for? Let it drop, and make it stop Just cut the cord!
