Scars and Diamonds

Take it all
Just leave it by the door
There’s no one walking home from this
How long
Can I live with myself running
From everything I’ve wanted to be?
And I thought
Why am I the one to blame for all my sins and salvations?
Why can’t I be free?
Is there no one coming for me?
Cover up the scars and diamonds
Put a bullet through my head
And wipe the features from my pretty face
‘Cause I thought that it was over
That I’d be freed of closure
And I thought that maybe I could make the change
It’s the sound of me
All I know is I’m not through
The view is ever-creeping to renew
The faith in myself living for today
And I’ll try
