Hail the Sun - Mental Knife lyrics

Emotion, inflammation, calloused and abound
Emotion, agitation, scarring of the soul
Nervous system challenged
Parts of me invalid
In a dream I embody it, scenes hyperbolic
Sensing what's left to come
I know it’s bad when I look back
And I see my arms drag me along
Getting stabilized, get it sterilized

Brace while they cauterize
There’s no fight in a lesion
That can’t heal it'self
I prep the mental knife
We cut and we tear what
We’re wanting to part with

Emotion, inflammation, calloused and abound
Emotion, agitation, scarring of
Stitch the laceration, yeah
Trauma setting in

I see myself on the bed
Seething from post-surgery
And I keep saying this dream isn’t real
I’m sure while I’m looking up at me
Suture it up, suture it up suture
The trauma never should have left the room
Never should have wandered, never, never

Separate the damage from
Separate the damage from

Brace while they cauterize
There’s no fight in a lesion
That can’t heal it'self
I prep the mental knife
We cut and we tear what
We’re wanting to part with

Emotion, inflammation, calloused and abound
Emotion, agitation, scarring all around
