​burlap scars

[Verse 1]
How exciting to be alive
At a time when everything goes south
And the color drains from my eyes
As their blood keeps spilling out my mouth

[Pre-Chorus]
And still I want to be you

[Verse 2]
But I’m still trying
Not to bleed out too fast
And you’re still trying not to say the line
But everything still finds its way out the back
While everybody’s drowning in their alibi

[Pre-Chorus]
And still I try to be you

[Chorus]
And now my head’s splitting over on the sidelines
What am I doing with my life
I blow another fuse in a drive-by
Try and I try and I try to talk
I try to talk, but nobody’s listening

[Bridge 1]
I see them all the time
Feel them bleed through me
Be my ears and eyes
And I, I don’t want to hide
Every time I speak
Don’t blame me for trying

[Bridge 2]
Trading secrets with each other when no one’s home
And yet they never tell me anything at all
(You don’t know how good you have it)
And everybody’s got a reason to keep to their own
And everybody’s got a bullet to write my name on
(You don’t know how good you have it)

[Outro]
How exciting to be alive
At a time when everything goes south
