[Verse 1]
Sentiment sediment
Along the skin
Batter it, better it
Stain the canvas razor-thin
Open it, open it
I didn’t look, I never noticed
Better now, huh? Better? No
A leisured lesion bleeds
So

[Chorus]
Hey, there are the scars I see self-inflicted?
Do you carve yourself to be vindictive?

[Verse 2]
Forbidden sleeves in the summer
Cover the marks therapy invokes
Spar with the wrist like an alpha
Pressure to know the shame stuck in your throat
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Your eyes are dark and dangerous
And now I notice that you’re wanting to erase yourself
I think I know but ask myself still

[Chorus]
Hey, there are the scars I see self-inflicted?
Do you carve yourself to be vindictive?
And I wonder how you could do it
Does the laceration free the rot within?

[Bridge]
I’m dying to view again
I’m dying to be let in
I’m dying to understand

I want to see the greater cause
The way you cope will leave a mark

[Chorus]
Hey, there are the scars I see self-inflicted?
Do you carve yourself to be vindictive?
And I wonder how you could do it
Does the laceration free the rot within?
