Cauterize

Lyrics

[Intro: Tim Lambesis] Go! [Verse 1: Tim Lambesis] The truth of my heart Is like a repressed tale A censored and silenced story [Verse 2: Tim Lambesis] Repression or restraint It is a delicate balance Between bleeding out What will make me drown And closing in What I cannot afford to spill [Pre-Chorus: Tim Lambesis] Either way, I must cauterize Cauterize the open wound [Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis] I'm caught between the feeling Of being pulled apart Or stuffed into a cell I'm caught between the feeling Of being pulled apart Or stuffed into a cell [Verse 3: Tim Lambesis] And if these are the only options This will always be hell (Never ending) Though I still may be breathing There is no quality of life So, I choose to risk it all for you For you to be by my side (My side) [Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis] I'm caught between the feeling Of being pulled apart Or stuffed into a cell I'm caught between the feeling Of being pulled apart Or stuffed into a cell [Bridge: Tim Lambesis] A crowd is easy to deceive But now I am a patient on the table [Breakdown: Tim Lambesis] I'll give you the knife Cut away as you see fit [Guitar Solo] [Refrain: Tim Lambesis] Just promise me the patience To wait for me to heal [Chorus: Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis] I'm caught between the feeling Of being pulled apart Or stuffed into a cell I'm caught between the feeling Of being pulled apart Or stuffed into a cell [Outro: Tim Lambesis, Josh Gilbert & Tim Lambesis] I'm caught between the feeling Of being pulled apart Or stuffed into a cell
