[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
