Collecting Scars

Close your eyes and shut your mouth

Because it's all the same and it won't change with you or without

They've got your number and that's all you are

To them it makes no difference, we're collecting scars again

One day soon we're gonna run out of room

Because we've carried our share digging graves and building the tombs

That make up this town that keeps us locked down

We're locked down

Locked down and collecting scars again

Hey, we're seeing stars

And spilling blood, it's not yours, it's ours

We're locked down and collecting scars

While oil fields burn and bodies char

Remain silent with all that you know

As we rise to the top on the backs of those living below

Breathe easy, you're safe where you are

Go about your business and leave us collecting the scars

Produce doom and we consume

We're all enslaved filling graves and filling the tombs

That make up this town that keeps us locked out

We're locked down

Locked down and collecting scars again

Hey, we're seeing stars

And spilling blood, it's not yours, it's ours

We're locked down and collecting scars

We gotta know who the hell you think you are

Safe at home while the world is spinning out of control

From the lies you tell and the power you hold

And you steal and you kill, let the truth be told

Let's burn this town and we'll all sit around

Getting warmer by the fire with friends

Collecting scars again

What comes around goes around and I'm down

And out but coming back again

Collecting scars again

The burning embers make a sound I'll remember

Forever as I watch it descend

Collecting scars again

What comes around goes around and I'm down

And out but coming back again

Collecting scars again
