Scar Issue

Today feels like it might be

The wrong day for me to die.

I’ve been spending too much time

Believing in self-created lies

And words are just words

Until they're put in to work.

And I’m standing so firm in this, firm in this.

Leave a mark upon the world,

Not across your arms.

A mark upon the world

Too beautiful for scars.

I can only hold up half the sky at one time

And I got through today so I could help you sleep at night.

I feel a tired in my eyes trying to find the sunrise

And I’m learning that life is getting through the night.

Leave a mark upon the world,

Not across your arms.

A mark upon the world

Too beautiful for scars.

I understand you.

A track record of track marks,

A small collection of stories

That never get told again.

I understand you.

Take pride in all the marks upon your soul.

Oh, they should show you you've been through a hell of a life alone.

Leave a mark upon the world,

Not across your arms.

A mark upon the world

Too beautiful for scars.

Leave a mark upon the world,

Not across your arms.

A mark upon the world

Too beautiful for scars.
