Buried deep under blood and skin
A whisper, a tempest is raging from within
I hold my breath, bitter proud
Afraid to scream fire in the middle of a crowd
I ponder incisions
Envision the brain
I beckon the surgeon
Do a slice against the grain
Now that I've wasted you
The white room is pure
The doctors are brave
If there's a cure
I want to be saved
Sanctuary!
Under the knife, sharp and shiny key
Repair, redeem, resurrection!
Under the knife, they'll cut you out of me
Maybe love's imitation is life under the knife
I have come to define
A litany of sins
In a black dream, a courtroom
Where the trial never ends
I have come to determine
A reasonable doubt
Where heaven and hell
Draw their boundary lines about
Now that I've wasted you
Now that I've tasted you
The white room had frost
On the cold window pane
Your love had been lost
My love was in vain
Sanctuary!
Under the knife, sharp and shiny key
Repair, redeem, resurrection!
Under the knife, they'll cut you out of me
Maybe dreams can be larger than life under the knife
Cynical splices
Stitch and install
Solder the filaments
I feel nothing at all
Second wind secrets
Let them rise let them fall
I'll walk through your firestorm but never never crawl
The gambler lives
The blood stain dries
It's time to forgive
I open my eyes
Sanctuary!
Under the knife, sharp and shiny key
Repair, redeem, resurrection!
Under the knife, they'll cut you out of me
Maybe love's imitation is life under the knife
Under the knife, sharp and shiny key
Repair, redeem, resurrection!
Under the knife, they'll cut you out of me
Maybe dreams can be larger than life under the knife
