lyrics

Somewhere between the sunset
And the glowing of the stars
There's a darkness you can't hide from
And there's a depth within the dark

When you're caught within that moment
Everything you do and feel
Disappears into the ether
Makes you wonder what was real

The sun was shining through the window
When she gave me the news
I sharpened my blade
And I cut her loose

When hearts are for the taking
There are those that will oblige
There is water under foot
Stepping stones in short supply

But the thing about pursuing
Only that which which glimmers most
You end up traveling in circles
Or walking up and down the coast

The albatross has flown
Availed himself of the abuse
I sharpened my blade
I cut her loose

I have loved her endlessly
I have done all that I could
I have been more man than monster
I have been less bad than good

I have sold all my possessions
Just to try and buy the truth
But I was swindled and was taken
Left with nothing to lose

You can't ride the fence forever
There comes a time you have to choose
So I sharpened my blade
And I cut her loose
