Will Champlin – Surgical Rewind Lyrics

Pop

I've been bleeding out for things I've yet to see
But I'm operating slow and patiently
And if all of the wounds are taking a toll on me
Is this freedom or anarchy?
Gotta walk into the dark to find the knife
Gonna carve incisions into this life
Going back into time in the back of my mind
Looking for where I flat-lined
Fighting the noise and my poison
Is it me I'm just avoiding?

Time's running out on me
I've only got so much room to breathe
I've traded my soul here for a dream
I gave my fortune to the man for a prophecy
And I can't believe I'm doing this time
It's surgical, it's surgical, surgical rewind

So how did I get so caught up in this mess?
I must be running against myself
Can't get no rest
The visions of grandeur are taking a toll on me
Is this freedom or anarchy?
When you're stuck and you're trying to break out of the mold
Only to find that the truth can't leave the cold
I'm alone on a table
Willing and able to diagnose
I'm stopping the war machine of eternal protest

Time's running out on me
I've only got so much room to breathe
I've traded my soul here for a dream
I gave my fortune to the man for a prophecy
And I can't believe I'm doing this time
It's surgical, it's surgical, surgical rewind

The animosity is going down
I'm beating and pushing and running when I hit the ground
Gotta come full circle 'til I get out of my own world
That keeps holding, holding me down
Don't you know that I'm holding for my life now?
They're gunning me down, gunning me down, gunning me down
Gunning me down, gunning me down, gunning me down
And I know

Time's running out on me
I've only got so much room to breathe
I've traded my soul here for a dream
I gave my fortune to the man for a prophecy
And I can't believe I'm doing this time
It's surgical, it's surgical, surgical rewind

Take the gloves off
Clean utensils
Send a pulse out
Watch his vitals
He's fading in and out of reality
Swaying all around fighting gravity
