Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I cut in on you
Oh, what I want
I wouldn't want
What I mean to say
I, I'm nothing
I'm cutting on you
[Verse 2]
I'm cutting on you
Oh, what I want
I wouldn't want
What I mean to say
I, I'm nothing
My cousin
I'm you
[Chorus]
Led by light
You can't divide
When your red lines
Get crossed with mine
I object to you
Our deal's un-struck
[Chorus]
Oh, what a time to be brave
Walking 'round an empty grave
Oh, we're the dirt you save
To fill an empty grave
[Verse 3]
What I want
I wouldn't want
What I mean to say
I, you're my cousin
My cousin
I'm you
[Verse 4]
Oh, what I want
I wouldn't want, wouldn't want
I mean to say
I'm nothing
I'm loving
I'm true
[Chorus]
Led by light
You can't divide
When your red lines
Get crossed with mine
I object to you
Our deal's un-struck
[Chorus]
It never hurts to cry
It never hurts to cry
It never hurts to cry
It never hurts to cry
[Outro]
The dead awake in waves
The dead awake in waves
The dead awake in waves
The dead awake in waves
The dead awake in waves
The dead awake in waves
The dead awake in waves
The dead awake in waves
