Sumney has called his upcoming album græ a “conceptual patchwork about grayness,” exploring statelessness, the shades of meaning in between, the feeling of being displaced from absolutes.
The fourth single from the album, called “Cut Me,” lingers in the masochism of constantly learning things the hard way. He sings of hurt as both motivating and life-affirming, of a need for some kind of friction to create a spark in the soul.

LYRICS.-
When I'm weary
And so worn out
Ooh, when my mind's clouded and
Filled with doubt
That's when I feel
The most alive
Masochistic kisses
Are how I thrive
A stiffness (in)
Inside my neck (and)
Bangin' my head (a)
Against the desk (woah)
If there's no pain (is)
There any progress
That's when I feel
The most alive
Endurance
Is the source of my pride
Might not be healthy for me but seemingly I need
What cuts me, cuts me, cuts me, cut me, cut me, cut me
Guess I'm a true immigrant son
No vacancies, no vacations
Sure, I could do better than this
But I don't, I wont, I don't
Might not be healthy for me but seemingly I need
What cuts me, cuts me, cuts me, cut me, cut me, cut me
Hurt me, hurt me
And so worn out
Ooh, when my mind's clouded and
Filled with doubt
That's when I feel
The most alive
Masochistic kisses
Are how I thrive
A stiffness (in)
Inside my neck (and)
Bangin' my head (a)
Against the desk (woah)
If there's no pain (is)
There any progress
That's when I feel
The most alive
Endurance
Is the source of my pride
Might not be healthy for me but seemingly I need
What cuts me, cuts me, cuts me, cut me, cut me, cut me
Guess I'm a true immigrant son
No vacancies, no vacations
Sure, I could do better than this
But I don't, I wont, I don't
Might not be healthy for me but seemingly I need
What cuts me, cuts me, cuts me, cut me, cut me, cut me
Hurt me, hurt me
