Cauterize Video (MV)

Sanitize the words before you break me
(Before your break me)
Cushion the blow before I fall
(Before I fall)
Cauterize the wound so I don't bleed out
(So I don't bleed out)
Couldn't handle the pressure of it all
(Of it all)

Swallow the poison that you're spitting
Before you realize it was aimed at me

You're a thorn in the side of my addiction
(A thorn in the side of me)
A reprising role in my tragedy
(You're my tragedy)
Contradicting promise of salvation
(Somebody save me)
You're a consequence of my apathy
(I don't care at all)
Leave me to my shame
You will bring me pain

Try to reach the end before I give up
(Before I give up)
Tell me I can't move without your say
(Without your say)
Show me all the good that you provide me
(That you provide me)
Beat me down until I agree to stay
(Agree to stay)

Tighten the grip you have around me
Keep me certain I can never leave

You're a thorn in the side of my addiction
(A thorn in the side of me)
A reprising role in my tragedy
(You're my tragedy)
Contradicting promise of salvation
(Somebody save me)
You're a consequence of my apathy
(I don't care at all)
Leave me to my pain
(you have brought me here)
I will bring you shame

I will bring you shame
You are my shame
You will break me

Sanitize the words before you break me
(Before your break me)
