Scars on scars

Like the spark before the flame
Or the calm before the storm
It's a needle to the vein
And I'll always be wanting more
I close my eyes at night
But I wake up in a daydream

Been here a thousand times before
Is there pleasure in this pain?
Different people, fresher faces
But their words always sound the same
Knocked so hard upon the door
But all it does is hurt me

I got these scars on scars from making all the same mistakes
I'm pulling myself apart, waiting on a hurricane
To come and roll me like thunder, carry me under
Then spit me back out to the sky
Maybe these scars on scars, they're telling me I'm still alive
I'm still alive

Sitting on my own again
Hoping something's going to change
Where's the happiness in torture?
What's the sense in becoming insane?
Another corner of my mind
I feel moments, but never the full thing

I got these scars on scars from making all the same mistakes
I'm pulling myself apart, waiting on a hurricane
To come and roll me like thunder, carry me under
Then spit me back out to the sky
But maybe these scars on scars, they're telling me I'm still alive
I'm still alive

I'm still alive
Yeah, I'm bleeding but I'm not undone
All this healing is making me strong
I might be fading but I'm never gone, yeah

I got these scars on scars from making all the same mistakes
I'm pulling myself apart, waiting on a hurricane
To come and roll me like thunder, carry me under
Then spit me back out to the sky
But maybe these scars on scars, they're telling me I'm still alive
I'm still alive
