“This is the hardest song on the record, and was one of my favourites to record. This track talks about how when you try to get over something tragic that has happened to you and try to let it scar up, there is always that burn and that feeling left. When the best thing to do is just to let it bleed...
[Verse 1]
Let it flow, let it burn
Nothing's worth taking care of
If it's never going to scab over
You tore me down once before
But I won't be torn anymore
[Chorus]
Mend all the parts
Mend all the parts
Whether they need them there's always something wrong
With the world
With the world
It all needs fixing and I'm the one left restoring
[Verse 2]
Let it flow, let it burn
All the time you spent to heal what is open
To get back what is rightfully yours
Oh let it flow
Let it burn
Let it burn
Let it burn
[Chorus]
Mend all the parts
Mend all the parts
Whether they need them there's always something wrong
With the world
With the world
It all needs fixing and I'm the one left restoring
[Verse 3]
These scars
These scars
These scars are never healing
Oh!
These scars are worth bleeding out
'Cause these scars are never healing
'Cause these scars are never healing
Oh Let it flow, let it burn
[Chorus]
Mend all the parts
Mend all the parts
Whether they need them there's always something wrong
With the world
With the world
It all needs fixing and I'm the one left restoring, restoring
It all needs fixing and I'm the one left restoring, restoring
It all needs fixing and I'm the one left restoring
