Lyrics
Cauterize
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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
So 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
