you've been around the block
you've been branded in scarlet
cigarette burns on your arms
i can see you touch yourself
dealing with the cards you dealt
but you don't have to run away
you don't have to be afraid
many friends but no one knows
scars imprinted on your life
so your tongue you have to bite
how long will you be this way
healing happens with release
time to stop the wrist that bleeds
