lyrics

I’m a whale, stranded, on the shore
Hoping this tide’s coming in

I’m an insect, crawling, on the floor
Wings pulled, no idea how to find my way outside

I’m a fox caught in a trap you set
Chewing like mad through this leg
Cos if I’m still here when the sun rears its head
I know I am a goner

And it’s death, death, by a thousand cuts
Death, death, by a thousand cuts

Exposed, bleeding. Each incision
Hurts more and less at the same time
Till the wait is over
And it’s done
The final cut is made

And it's death, death, by a thousand cuts
Death, death, by a thousand cuts
