Give Me Scars

On the road to nowhere nothing is worthwhile,
by day the sun barely shines,
at night the stars tell lies
about you
and you try so hard, there's no space for bliss or pride
as the years went by, you gave up to try
you feel black and white

So give me scars, give me pain, wear me down,
be the poison in my veins,
give me bars, build a jail
for my heart, then go away,
take my hope, take my trust,
grind my will into dust,
and tear a hole in my mind,
it's alright
it just makes me feel alive

You would never spend a day without laughing,
but to keep your smile in shape
you built up a poker face
and hide away

all the tears, your own needs,
to be the guardian to the weak,
all the fear gently sneaks
into your soul

So give me scars, give me pain, wear me down,
be the poison in my veins,
give me bars, build a jail
for my heart, then go away,
take my hope, take my trust,
grind my will into dust,
and tear a hole in my mind,
it's alright
it just makes me feel alive
