surgery

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
