Burlap Scars

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

And I want to be you

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 alibis

And still I try to be you

And now my heads splitting all around the side lines
What am I doing with my life
I blow another fuse and drive by
Try and I try and I try to talk
I try to talk, but nobody's listening

I see them all the time
Feel them bleed for me
Be my ears and eyes
And I, I don't want to hide
Every time I speak
Don't blame me for trying

Trading secrets with each other when no ones home
Yet they never tell me anything at all
(You don't know how good you have it)
Cause everybody's got a reason to keep to their own
And everybody's got a bullet to write their name on
(You don't know) how good you have it

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