"Cauterize" lyrics - RED

Leave it all behind you
That's fine
But sometimes
The buried comes crawling back to you

[Pre-Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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

[Bridge:]
When the dead won't stay buried
From the war that is raging
Cauterize, cauterize, cauterize

[Interlude]

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

[Chorus:]
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

[Outro:]
You, you, you, you
