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
