Cut the Black Away Lyrics

I remember the plastic in my hands
This device would never do
Broken dreams and numbing maladies
And all the things that I'd gone through

I remember you walking in the room
The fear that drew your face
I heard a voice, it put my mind at ease
But would my pulse keep up the pace?

It was the start of a beautiful thing
A brand new day, a brand new dream
My heart, it raced, I was in an unfamiliar place
But it felt so much like home

I remember the next day
When all my problems seemed to fade away
I heard your voice, it put my mind at ease
Cut the wire, set me free

I never thought I'd feel this way
A steady hands, my remedy
Now this knife relieves the pain
As I cut the black away
