The Deeper Cut

All my life I have been afraid
All my life scared to lose my way
All my life led me to today
The day when I must learn the hardest way
Every step leading to this day
The day I learn to lose and fail.

A deeper cut into the flesh of life
A sharper kind of knife.

A deeper cut into the throat of grey
Come take me far away
Come take me far away
Lead me astray.

The deepest cut will never really mend
The deepest cut might kill you in the end
The deepest cut is playing not to win
It's what you hear in every word I sing
It's beauty in the ugliest of things
It's birds that fly with broken wings.

A deeper cut into the flesh of life
A sharper kind of knife.

A deeper cut into the throat of grey
Come colors lead the way
Come colors lead the way
Into the wild
(Into the wild...)
Into the wild
(Into the wild)
Into the wild
(Into the wild)
Into the wild
(Into the wild)

Today I go beyond control
(Into the wild)
Beyond all purpose, aim or goal
(Into the wild)
To win my soul
(Into the wild)
'Cause today I choose to lose my way
(Into the wild)
To fall and fail
(Into the wild...)
I choose the wilderness today
(Into the wild)

Into the wild...
