"Cauterize" lyrics - AS I LAY DYING

Go!

The Truth of my heart
Is like a repressed tale

A censored and silenced story
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
Either way, I must cauterize, cauterize the open wound

[Chorus:]
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

And if these are the only options
This will be 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

[Chorus:]
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

A crowd is easy to deceive
But now I am a patient on the table
I'll give you the knife
Cut away as you see fit
Just promise me the patience
To wait for me to heal

[Chorus:]
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
I'm caught between the feeling
Of being pulled apart
Or stuffed into a cell
