What good does it do to keep cutting away?
What training could teach you to appreciate,
the way that sutures turn to scars?
Incised on the line between faith and a lie.
I can't steady my hand for remembering mine,
so let's replay the worst I've seen -
the sweetest deals on surgery.
These days have got so much explaining to do,
the taste of a joke tainting everything through,
And now I know it's criminal to guarantee,
accept my cheapest sympathy.
The bargain is the brightest part,
we'll cut along the watermark,
exploratory open-hearted for a start.
And if you're feeling in the dark
there's nothing here for you to see -
keep it quiet, keep it clean.
You never did believe
procedure's all you'd see
if you cut into me.
