Stains

Won’t let these stains define me
I’mma wear them with style and grace
They’re like tattoos for the brain
No one can see them and they don’t wash away

Pour me some liquor baby
It’s been a rough day, can’t you tell
No time for spilling, just let me go my way
And I am not ashamed to say that

These are my stains (and I like them)
They show the pain (that I’ve been fighting)
Scars on the brain (but it don’t matter ‘cause)
There’s sunshine after rain (ohhh)
Day after day (day after day)
I bleed my beliefs (yes I do)
It flows through my veins (it’s in my blood)
I’mma pave my own way (yes I will)

Young mind, but I’ve got an old soul
Many lessons learned and many bridges burned, oh yeah
Unspoken memories turned into markings beneath the surface

Some stains need momma’s hand
But some are way too old, they’re better off left alone
I’m good at dealing with them
‘Cause I embrace the fact that

These are my stains (and I like them)
They show the pain (that I’ve been fighting)
Scars on the brain (but it don’t matter ‘cause)
There’s sunshine after rain (ohhh)
Day after day (day after day)
I bleed my beliefs (yes I do)
It flows through my veins (it’s in my blood)
I’mma pave my own way (yes I will)
