Contextual Analysis of "cauterize" in Lyrics

either way

cauterize the open wound

And closing in what I cannot afford to spill

I'm caught between the feeling

how do the scars feel after the wounds heal?

did it show that you were hiding the hurt inside?

rejected sacrifice

failing your litmus test

i'm on my knees waiting for something to give

dark morgues my home. i'll prowl in the nightfall. they want me to succumb

i've got too much to lose

when you slice

but i wasn't stabbed

we'll tear it down

tangled in their power lines

when the ghosts have come and gone

redemption hangin on a breeze

beneath the anger in your words

and in anger

if i could get past the sternum

every kiss i could give to you

but you aren't able

i'm consumed in the inferno

my skin is charred

broken system of a broken mind

reinsure that failure's realigned

oh how the emptiness drags at the mind

here's to another last goodbye

the tongues come out first to prevent venomous words

behold the eighth wonder of the world

an exoskeleton of steel

i feel no pain

out from deep within me

this negativity's leeching

severely broken

and i've suffocated my pride. before you and i embarked on
