lyrics

There's a sun diving behind a sea in the west.
The clouds weeping gentle loneliness.
"Why must we spend every night apart?
"Why must the moon come between us?"

There's a sun peaking over a range in the east,
The empty sky tastes like bitter defeat.
"Why must you always turn and flee?
"Why must the wind carry you away from me?"

They say no one's an island, but I disagree.
We are isles of misery, on stormy seas.

Every sideways glance is a paper cut,
So, stare me down and don't pull me up.
There's no need to rescue me,
I'd rather die right here and make a grave of the sea.

We all die a death of a thousand cuts,
We all run out of sap to stop the blood.

We all die a death of a thousand cuts.
