"Scars"

I don't remember how I got all these scars
But I know I lived a hell of a life
I can't remember how I made it this far
But I know it was a hell of a fight
Could've been some bones in a coffin
Stoned, drinking vodka, locked up with the bros
Causing problems, broke at the bottom
You know that I
Got a lotta marks under these clothes
Shoulda killed me, somehow I survived

These tattoos on my arms
Hide from you all the scars
These tattoos on my arms
Hide from you all the scars

I don't remember how I ended up here
But I know I probably shoulda died
I don't remember why I cried all those tears
But I know that I turned out alright
I know that people wanted me dead, I lost all my friends
Was running from the cops, getting bread, it's dark in my head
You know that I have seen a lotta things in all of my years
But I'm thankful for this crazy life

Every single scar and every single scrape
Every bruise and tattoo along the way
It tells a little story that I can't explain
Because the words escape me but the marks remain
They won't ever fade and they can't be erased
They made me who I am and I am not ashamed
Every bump and scratch and every drop of blood
Prove how far I've came

These tattoos on my arms
Hide from you all the scars
These tattoos on my arms
Hide from you all the scars

I have had my scars longer than most of my friends
Crashed a couple cars, put some stitches in my legs
Look up at the stars and all I can say is thanks
Recovery was hard but it made me who I am
All these ugly battlescars complete me
They're reminders of the demons who tried they best to defeat me
They don't look so good in photos but my struggles ain't beneath me
And these tattoos ain't for nothing, this is physical graffiti

Every broken bone, all the sticks and stones
And the moments when I felt so alone
Every single tear and like a million beers
That I only drank so I could try to cope
Every bloody nose and all the muddy clothes
When I was in the dirt down inside a hole
Every single scuff and every single scab
Made me who I am

These tattoos on my arms
Hide from you all the scars
These tattoos on my arms
Hide from you all the scars
These tattoos on my arms
Hide from you all the scars
