Cauterize lyrics

Leave it all behind you

That's fine

But sometimes

The buried comes crawling back to you

You were gone, I paid your price

You left your mark, my sacrifice

This open wound where you can hide

To look away and bite the knife

Cauterize, when it bleeds

Burn away the broken lies that I still believe

Meet the flame, let it inside

And cauterize, I'll cauterize you

The innocence you pretend

That's mine

The proof of you

Is written on my skin

Cauterize, when it bleeds

Burn away the broken lies that I still believe

Meet the flame, let it inside

And cauterize, I'll cauterize you

When the dead won't stay buried

From the war that is raging

Cauterize, cauterize, cauterize

A thousand scars betray me

Oh, what's another one?

At least they make me feel

Like I'm not the only one

Oh, am I the only one?

Oh, are we the only ones?

Cauterize, when it bleeds

Wash away the broken lies that I still believe

Meet the flame, let it inside

And cauterize, I'll cauterize you

You, you, you, you
