about

'A Thousand Tiny Cuts' is the 2021 track from Fast Trains, the closing song on the 'ourWorld Volume 1' EP.

lyrics

You ran with scissors, you say?
Blamed Stanley Knives
Oh how it’s never your fault
Deflect and disguise

But I know what you’re playing
Have known for a while
Cutting groves into your skin
To sharpen your smile

A thousand tiny cuts
Would never be enough
To break the bond of us

So roll your sleeves down again
Let’s cover the scars
This is nobody’s news
No business but ours

When you’re ready to talk
And answer the whys
Then believe me I’m all ears
No judge would chastise

A thousand tiny cuts
Would never be enough
To break the bond of us

Cos we’re all a bit broken
Scratched from former lives
Hiding razors from ones we love
Oh but nothing could damage
The bond that keeps us tied
So let’s side aside your marks and disarm the lies

A thousand tiny cuts
Would never be enough
To break the bond of us
