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
