The Deeper Cut

All my life I have been afraid

All my life scared to lose my way

All my life led me to today

The day when I must learn the hardest way

Every step leading to this day

The day I learn to lose and fail

A deeper cut into the flesh of life

A sharper kind of knife

A deeper cut into the throat of grey

Come take me far away

Come take me far away

Lead me astray

The deepest cut will never really mend

The deepest cut might kill you in the end

The deepest cut is playing not to win

It's what you hear in every word I sing

It's beauty in the ugliest of things

It's birds that fly with broken wings

A deeper cut into the flesh of life

A sharper kind of knife

A deeper cut into the throat of grey

Come colors lead the way

Come colors lead the way

Into the wild

Into the wild...

Today I go beyond control

Beyond all purpose aim or goal

To win my soul

'Cause today I choose to lose my way

To fall and fail

I choose the wilderness today
