Cut out your heart
Make it mean something
If you don’t have your own
Store bought is fine
If you don’t have your own
you can borrow mine
Cause I got a factory heart
I bought it at down at the quick save mart
To replace the one I ripped out of my chest
To prove it meant something
Along with a Polaroid
I stapled it to my shirt sleeve
Cut out your heart
Decorate it however you like
If you don’t like how it turns out
You can get one better than the rest
If you don’t like how it turns out
You can always buy one to keep under your vest
And get yourself a factory heart
Manufactured by the millions in all the coolest art
To replace the one you ripped out of your chest
To prove you had style
Along with the point
Getting there could take a while
Yeah so why don’t you cut your heart out just like me and mine?
You could always get a new one fresh off the assembly line
So what if I don’t know where the heart I was born with is now
I can just drive to any store downtown
And go get a factory heart
It’ll be years before it breaks apart
And i have to replace what’s in my chest
To prove i know what I’m doing
Along with my new heart and along with the void
I feel the seams ungluing
