Death By A Thousand Cuts

This snuck right up on me
If I only knew, I'd have seen right through
Each time I look away
The hideousness grows, until it takes control

Don't even try to tear yourself away

It happens over time
With each passing day, our patience slips away
So, gradually we fall
United just enough, to stand each other down

I just can't take anymore, you can't take anymore
But it doesn't matter at all, it doesn't matter

I remember when this felt just like heaven
Now we're in the abyss
Tearing back these walls to find nothing at all
There's just one crack that grows and grows

Death by a thousand cuts (whispered)

With backs against the wall
That crumbles every time we try to make a move
We can't get very far
Captives at the sight of the ruins all around

Don't even try to last one more day

Light and get away
Or would you rather stay, laying in wait?

Just like Dorian Gray
It's gonna show on our face, the things we've done
Nothing more to say, it's just a game that we play
How many cuts can you survive?
