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
