[Verse 1]
I don't need an x-ray
To see it isn’t ok
We lost a lot of blood last year
Your smile is just a band-aid

Strap into the table
We gotta put you under
This is an emergency
Can't you hear the thunder

[Pre-Chorus]
Can we talk about it
Just wanna talk about it
Tired of watching you
Waste your life away
You gotta turn around
You gotta let it go

[Chorus]
Operate
You're bleeding and we can’t afford to wait
Operate
You feel it but you can't ignore the pain
Wait a minute. Wait, wait a minute can we
Wait a minute. Wait, wait a minute can we
Operate
You're bleeding and we can't afford to wait
Can you give it up
[Verse 2]
Well if we're being honest
Show me what you repressed
I was bangin' on my drums
When I heard the sirens

And I see an infection
It's living under your skin
Cut along the dotted lines
Spilling your resentment

[Pre-Chorus]
Can we talk about it
Just wanna talk about it
You gotta let it go

[Chorus]
Operate
You're bleeding and we can’t afford to wait
Operate
You feel it but you can’t ignore the pain
Wait a minute. Wait, wait a minute can we
Wait a minute. Wait, wait a minute can we
Operate
You're bleeding and we can’t afford to wait
Can you give it up
Operate
You're bleeding and we can't afford to wait
Operate
You feel it but you can't ignore the pain
Wait a minute. Wait, wait a minute can we
Wait a minute. Wait, wait a minute can we
Operate
You’re bleeding and we can't afford to wait
Can you give it up
