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
