Red – Cauterize (Declaration 2020)

Cauterize Lyrics[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
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, you1
