This track also features Jason Butler from letlive., such a great frontman and friend of ours. It was really cool because he just so happened to be in New York while we were recording vocals. So Jason came in and we worked on the song all day. he killed it. We gave him free reign to do what he wanted and be creative and if you know Jason you know he got right up to the mic making crazy noises on all kinds of different patterns, it was awesome.
To sum it all up I just want to make it known that if you have someone in your life that calls you their friend but is never there for you anymore because they chose a horrible person to be with, use this song as motivation to say something to them. You could be saving someone from being miserable for the rest of their lives. And if they don't hear you out then you did what you could, but at least you tried. Friendship is a huge part of this band, with fans, other bands and people that we work with. I'd say it's one of the most important things to us."

But you don't need me in the end
You fooled me once, that won't be happening again
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
She fooled you twice, I'll never see my friend again
We were the best of friends
You fooled me once, that won't be happening again
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
She fooled you twice, I'll never see my friend again
We were the best of friends
But you don't need me in the end
You fooled me once, that won't be happening again
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
She fooled you twice, I'll never see my friend again
Like the skin of a snake, you shed my friend
My fingers they ache, but I still press send
I know you're alone yet you still won't pick up your phone
You're lost in this world looking around for your backbone
Flashing back to the times where we spent
Every hour of every day, where nothing got in our way (in our way)
Flashing back, I wonder what those times even meant
Every hour of every day and now you don't have much to say
I know you're so alone
I know you're so alone
We were the best of friends
But you don't need me in the end
You fooled me once, that won't be happening again
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
She fooled you twice, I'll never see my friend again
We were the best of friends
But you don't need me in the end
You fooled me once, that won't be happening again
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
She fooled you twice, I'll never see my friend again
("Yo Jay, when was the last time you talked to him?"
"To be honest I couldn't even tell you, it's been a minute.
I bet you he's caught up with homegirl"
"It's such a shame too, because that girl treats him like shit"
"You know what, Drew, you're right")
You're a leaf in the fall, I've watched it change
Into something you've always hated, that filled you with rage
But I see that it isn't you, this person I kinda know
I hope that you fade away as fast as the wind blows
And she's the queen of hearts, with an ace up her sleeve
And you gave her a diamond kid, because she made you believe
Flashing back to the times where we spent
Every hour of every day, where nothing got in our way (in our way)
Flashing back, I wonder what those times even meant
Every hour of every day and now you don't have much to say
We were the best of friends
But you don't need me in the end
We were the best of friends (you were my nigga)
She's playing games with your head
We were the best of friends
Fuck!
But you don't need me in the end
OK, OK
We were the best of friends
She's playing games with your head
"Scissor Hands" by Stray from the Path talks about the betrayal and loss of friendship due to a relationship gone wrong. The song's narrator expresses his feelings of disappointment and anger towards his friend, who seems to have been ensnared by a manipulative girl. The singer and his friend were once close, and they spent countless hours together, but their friendship dissolves when his friend chooses the girl over him.
Throughout the song, the singer reminisces about the good times they had, but he can't help but feel let down and abandoned. He wishes his friend would reach out and reconnect, but the friend seems too wrapped up in his toxic relationship. The line "you're lost in this world, looking for your backbone" indicates that the friend has become weak and submissive in the relationship. In the end, the singer recognizes that he may never see his friend again.
Overall, "Scissor Hands" is a cautionary tale about the dangers of letting a relationship come between friendships. The song serves as a reminder that true friends will always be there for each other, no matter what.
