You wanna see my pretty scars?
I'll show you where the deepest are
The ugliness for the pretty ones to see
Can you still rationalize your judgments of me?
I don't think it's brass, or even cavalier
I'm fed up with lies; it's life that I fear
This storm will never clear so make yourself at home
Shelter your fears and leave me alone
I'll roam in the storm cause this is my home
You don't have a clue what I've been through alone
If you really wanna know, just read my old notes
Filled with emo songs and their bittersweet quotes
The rain melts away on this skin made of stone
My life may be short from the trouble I've known
An addict like me is what you could be
If you knew just a day from the pain that I see
I'm happier now but days are like this
When conditional love breeds new loneliness
Contingent upon your waning comfort in me
I don't want your love of this man I'll never be
I'm far too blunt for this to be unclear
So don't lie to me if she is your fear
The ***** in my skin is filtering out
So don't mess with me if your code is devout
The train is departing
No baggage to bring
No room left for hate
Where no one is too late
So we filter them out
Yeah, we filter them out...
Just come as you are
I'll never be too far
