It's been a year that I'll remember When I look down at my hands Surgery is in season Cauterizing is the plan I think I'm ready to be good now So make the healing quick for me Let grief tarry for the evening But haste the morning with its peace Unplug my fingers from the levee Let emotion flood my face But the weight is far too heavy Dam it, I can't take the wave Profoundly sad but I can't cry yet Profoundly numb but I won't die Profoundly tired and I won't lie to you It's been a year I won't forget You put me under anesthesia Knew I couldn't take the pain Laid me down upon the table Wounded Healer tend my frame With the purifying flame With the light in darkness flame Don't want to leave the way I came No, I won't leave the way I came
