[Verse 1] I kept the pills in a blue tin box Under the sink by the broken mop My hands were shaking on the tile floor Like I had nowhere to go anymore You kicked the door in with a scarred-up sound Rust on the strings and the walls came down You bit through silence, you split the air And something in me started to tear [Pre-Chorus] I let the hurt come up I let it show I let the old ghosts loose Then let them go [Chorus] Your guitar cuts deep Then it pulls me free Your guitar cuts deep And it stitches me Burn the fear right out Pull the poison through Your guitar cuts deep But it heals me too But it heals me too [Verse 2] I used to wear my rage like a second skin Bottle it tight till it cracked within Every word felt sharp, every room too small Every smile looked like a brick wall Then you hit that chord like a clenched up fist Made a hard little promise in the static twist You gave my sadness a shape to break Gave my bad thoughts somewhere to shake [Pre-Chorus] I let the hurt come up I let it show I let the old ghosts loose Then let them go [Chorus] Your guitar cuts deep Then it pulls me free Your guitar cuts deep And it stitches me Burn the fear right out Pull the poison through Your guitar cuts deep But it heals me too [Bridge] Now I stand in the wreckage With my ribs on fire Still I feel that riff Lift me higher Every cracked-up memory Every brutal scar Turns into a doorway When you strike that chord hard [Chorus] Your guitar cuts deep Then it pulls me free Your guitar cuts deep And it stitches me Burn the fear right out Pull the poison through Your guitar cuts deep But it heals me too [Outro] Cuts me open Sews me whole Cuts me open Keeps my soul
