Cut Down Sideways

You were light and I was death.
You were light and I was death,
Desperately creeping along.
Tell a lie and break my neck,
But the damage was all in your head.
You were light and I was death.

Locked on a target and I'm moving along,
There's a feeling I get when I'm headstrong.

Oh, my love
Don't push it 
like the way we used to do.
Even if you get far,
Don't go far without me.
I'll never make it.
Oh, my love
 [bad word] -
There's a feeling that you'll lose.
Even if you get far,
Don't go far.

Caught between, and hedging bets,
There's a knot inside your chest.
(But the damage was all in your head)
Tell a lie and break my neck.

By the time a second's through,
Help yourself along.
Cut down sideways.

Oh, my love,
One pull, and I could split the world in two.
Even if you get far,
Don't go far.
