lyrics

Scars fade but memories don’t
No, I was hoping for a more metaphorical bone to throw
I was hoping for something but not like this
No, all the shots that I take all tend to miss

We only cover up our scars
So we can open them and feel each other's pain in the dark
The way I see it it can not be fixed
No matter how well you wear that tenderness

You wear it so well
You wear it so well

Troubled times that the shadows cannot hide
From these lives we lead as parasites
I would have saved myself if I’d known
That in the end I’m not alone
We are never on our own
And I hate it

Cars all flash as they pass me
While I’m passed out on my ass in the grass caring gently
About things that nobody thinks about
Sometimes I wonder why I don’t tell that
We only invented bars so we could have somewhere to go
Once we’ve lost the spark
But the spark grows sparse these days
Like the human heart away

But you wear it so well
You wear it so well

Troubled times that the shadows cannot hide
From these lives we lead as parasites
I would have saved myself if I’d known
That in the end I’m not alone
We are never on our own

Troubled times that the shadows cannot hide
From these lives we lead as parasites
I would have saved myself if I’d known
That in the end I’m not alone
We are never on our own
And I hate it
Yeah I hate it
And I hate it
We’re parasites
