"Secondhand Scars" lyrics
"Secondhand Scars"
Empathy's worn, compassion is tired
All of my virtues are fuel for your fire
Kindness is torn, patience a liar
All of my virtues are fuel for your fire
I know life ain't fair to you
I know the hell it's put you through
But it's me that's black and blue
I feel it too, I feel it too
I know your traumas take a toll
I know destruction's how you cope
But it's me you're cutting through
I feel it too, I feel it too
Blood trail walking in your shoes
Two necks hanging in one noose
Can't breathe 'till I cut you loose
Loving you might break me
Caring makes me crazy
'Cause I'm gonna drown in your dark
If I wear your secondhand scars
Promises of changing, toxic and contagious
This crutch is falling apart
I can't wear your secondhand scars
I know you can't control the past
I know the die's already cast
A sick game you didn't choose
I feel it too, I feel it too
I've held on until my fingers bleed
And break down to give you everything
But who's gonna take care of me?
Loving you might break me
Caring makes me crazy
'Cause I'm gonna drown in your dark
If I wear your secondhand scars
Promises of changing, toxic and contagious
This crutch is falling apart
I can't wear your secondhand scars
Empathy's worn, compassion is tired
All of my virtues are fuel for your fire
Kindness is torn, patience a liar
All of my virtues are fuel for your fire
All of my virtues are fuel for your fire
(All of my virtues are fuel for your fire)
Loving you might break me
Caring makes me crazy
'Cause I'm gonna drown in your dark
If I wear your secondhand scars
Promises of changing, toxic and contagious
This badge is breaking my heart
I can't wear your secondhand scars
Secondhand scars
Secondhand scars

elijah - "MAYDAY" Somebody save me
I'm going down
Yeah I feel fine, just living the dream
Spending all my time relaxing on the edge of my seat
I never don't mind, but if you're asking me
There's no honesty, because...
The Funeral Portrait - "Holy Water" I traded my name to indulge a snake
So I ran free and broke a leg but I
Felt free enough to rule the world
One time
Buried, I'll sleep in a bag of bones
No, Momma don't think I'll be coming home...
No Name Faces - "Empty" All the things I think I write in rhymes
All the songs I sing from my heart and mind
Are all for you to listen to
Sometimes I cry inside I'm dying
See I won't be fine if you're not in my life
So...
Throw The Fight - "Wolves In The Dark" Chances were made to be stolen
Feels like we're lost souls
Your eyes return to a shade of grey
Watch as the ocean tide slips away
Let's take this from the start
Told me you had a change of heart...
Letdown. - "Freak" Say what you want to me, got no apologies
Maybe I'm a freak in the crowd
Take what you want from me, give no apologies
Saying what I'm thinking out loud
I'd die to be crashing a shipwreck in your...
