Cauterize - Red

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
