Standing at the bus stop and heading on over the bridge I was listening to the sounds of sirens coming over the hill Running down the sidewalk looking at the cracks in the streets Staring at expressions on the faces I'll never meet
Now I'm standing on the docks watching the waves as the city sleeps I'm wondering how something so beautiful can cut so fuckin' deep
And it's like roses and razor blades There are scars in this world that are never gonna fade away
Here in lies my confession It's a root of all of my aggression See I'm a bitter motherfucker 'cause Im four steps back fall steps back Hit the bottle and I'll never look back But I 'aint gonna give up, no I 'aint done yet
Now my only motivations are others expectations What kind of punk would I be if I took shit for being me
And it's like roses and razor blades There are scars in this world that are never gonna fade away And it's these moments that make us realize Maybe life 'aint so fucking bad Better be grateful for what you have
It's gonna be tough We've got lost lives and broken hearts We're outcasts looking for angels We find more comfort in strangers And every time I look into my own eyes another little piece of me dies We'll never know what's keeping us alive
