Lyrics:

like flesh woven together
never meant to separate
part of me died that day
we put him in the grave

she sang they'll hold me
for you now
and they do, but it's you
i need

and i don't know how to tell her...

i'll cut as deep as i need
i'll go as far as i can bear
she may have gone to the gates of hell
but i'm the one who walked through, so
i'll go, i'll cut deeply

five years have come and gone
still you're never coming home
can't deal with the bullsh*t platitudes
from those with loves still breathing

i don't know how to tell them...

i'll cut as deep as i need
i'll go as far as i can bear
she may have gone to the gates of hell
but i'm the one who walked through
i'll go, i'll cut deeply

i'll go, i'll cut deeply

7TN24 - I’ll Cut As Deep As I Need

In this life you learn
that everything comes and goes 
Life has a life of its own
there is so little you can control

Of all that I have seen
the one thing I know for sure
valley high or valley low
I'll never let go of the things I know

Because...

What I know
I know didn't come easy
what I know
I know I didn't roll the dice
What I know, I know
came at a price 
That's why I'll never let go 
of the things I know 


Anything worth knowing, 
comes the hard way
Anything worth having is hard fought
and hard won 
Every stumble made me think twice
that's why I'll never let go 
of the things I know

What I know
I know didn't come easy
what I know
I know I didn't roll the dice
What I know, I know
came at a price 
that's why I'll never let go 
of the things I know 

Don't ask me how I know the things I know
Don't ask me how I know the things I know


THE THINGS I KNOW

I’ve been tasked with teaching you the secret of the universe.
Not sure why it’s me – but then again, why not?
It’s not something I take lightly, so I’ll tell you soon, but first.
Clear your mind of all that you’ve been taught,
Start with an empty page, set your spirit free.

One more thing before I share the secret of the universe,
You need to understand, this wasn’t my idea.
This is something that’s been building – now it’s time to break the curse.
Clear your mind of all that you’ve been taught,
Start with an empty page, set your spirit free.
Think of all the wars that have been fought,
The coups that have been staged – the dreams of being free.

Are you ready? I’ll soon tell the secret of the universe.
It might blow your mind – it might just set you free.
Lately hatred has momentum – this’ll put it in reverse.
Clear your mind of all that you’ve been taught,
Start with an empty page, set your spirit free.
Think of all the wars that have been fought,
The coups that have been staged – the dreams of being free.
All along the answers we’ve long sought
Were known, but not engaged – it’s time to set them free. It’s love.

Now that you’ve been told about the secret of the universe,
You can use it all you like, and I recommend,
That you plan to put to use the secret of the universe.
You will find that some are hard to love, love ‘em anyway, it’ll set your spirit free.
Some will love you back and some will not, love ‘em anyway, it’ll set your spirit free.

Love until you can’t, then love some more, love ‘em all you can, it’ll set your spirit free

Secret of the Universe

Something different, sometimes I just like to jam with myself. This is just some guitar and singing (all me). Didn't want to spend hours editing so you're getting it raw. Hope you like it.

Jam session with me
