surgery Lyrics

It's been a year that I'll remember

When I look down at my hands

Surgery is in season

Cauterizing is the plan

I think I'm ready to be good now

So make the healing quick for me

Let grief tarry for the evening

But haste the morning with its peace

Unplug my fingers from the levee

Let emotion flood my face

But the weight is far too heavy

Dam it, I can't take the wave

Profoundly sad but I can't cry yet

Profoundly numb but I won't die

Profoundly tired and I won't lie to you

It's been a year I won't forget

You put me under anesthesia

Knew I couldn't take the pain

Laid me down upon the table

Wounded Healer tend my frame

With the purifying flame

With the light in darkness flame

Don't want to leave the way I came

No, I won't leave the way I came
