Scar Issue - The Color Morale

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
