Marks

We all bare our marks and we open them up Just to prove to ourselves that we're not living numb Under the callus there is only malice Worst kept regrets haunting what's left All these ties and these ropes leave me with only ghosts Now keep in mind the change of times Are the highs worth the lows? You ask me so I tell you Things will change And we're not gonna stop it So roll with the punches Stand aside because my foot's through the floor, the holes in the drywall aren't enough There is more And so I'll fend for myself and hope that no-one else will see the worst within me We all bare our marks and we open them up Just to prove to ourselves that were not living numb Under the callus there is only malice Worst kept regrets haunting what's left All these ties and these ropes leave me with only ghost I'll keep in mind the change of times Are the highs worth the lows? You ask me so I tell you We define our former lives Are the highs worth the lows? You asked me, so I'll tell you It's more than safe to say that nothing stays the same Whether it blooms and grows or just dissolves and decays And sometimes the only voice that can shed some light are four walls that speak to you in hindsight And I know the floorboards could expose more than words could ever relay It's hard to paint a portrait of yourself when you're identifying the remains I've tried my best to explain this but the most I can say is nothing gold can stay Are the highs worth the lows? You asked me How can I tell you? That it's just a shame What a sad sight to see that I'll always be this way A hollow shell Vacant of who I used to be I'll keep in mind the change of times Are the highs worth the lows? You ask me so I tell you We redefine our former lives Are the highs worth the lows You ask me so I tell you Now keep in mind The change of times Are the highs worth the lows you asked me and now you know Nothing gold can stay
