swear to GOD i'm not well
but i'll never tell
i've got cuts, scrapes, scars
but you'd think i never fell

they say time heals all wounds
mine spent time festering
ripping scratching gnawing
fighting to not let the demons win


i only want one soul
to understand this pain
the same one who left
my mind, my heart and soul slain
-
toxins and tar
have got me this far
numb me, dumb me
cover up all of these scars


i chose a black pool
dove head first in the tar pit
**** til my ****** vessel
becomes a starship

drowned myself in *****
now flick the matchstick
sometimes the justice we want
aint the justice we get


i only want one soul
to understand this pain
the same one who left
my mind, my heart and soul slain
writhing, and waiting in decay
iron rusting in the rain
-
toxins and tar
have got me this far
numb me, dumb me
cover up all of these scars


i'll show the fruits of my pain
but keep the roots well hidden
classified, stowed away,
restricted, forbidden

well, me? im hanging on
with a white knuckled grip
knowing it might be my last fall
on the next slip

toxins and tar
have got me this far
numb me, dumb me
cover up all of these scars
