Mental Knife

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Emotion, inflammation, calloused and abound Emotion, agitation, scarring of the soul Nervous system challenged, parts of me invalid In a dream I embody it, scenes hyperbolic Sensing what's left to come I know it's bad when I look back And I see my arms drag me along Getting stabilized, get it sterilized [Chorus] Brace while they cauterize There's no fight in a lesion that can't heal itself I prep the mental knife We cut and we tear what we're wanting to part with [Verse 2] Emotion, inflammation, calloused and abound Emotion, agitation, scarring of Stitch the laceration, yeah Trauma setting in [Bridge] I see myself on the bed, seething from post-surgery And I keep saying this dream isn't real, I'm sure While I'm looking up at me Suture it up, suture it up Suture The trauma never should have left the room Never should have wandered, never, never [Pre-Chorus] Separate the damage from Separate the damage from [Chorus] Brace while they cauterize There's no fight in a lesion that can't heal itself I prep the mental knife We cut and we tear what we're wanting to part with [Outro] Emotion, inflammation, calloused and abound Emotion, agitation, scarring all around
