lyrics

Isn't it funny how the strongest bonds are over scars?
Sharing our weakness, secrets, points of pride--our softest skin

Cut your skin, shave your head

Well I, for one, would mend your scars.
I would sew them up and stitch them tight and cover them in Neosporin or some disinfectant that could keep you warm so you won't have to scar again, you won't have to break your skin.
But as you've seen I'm skilled with scissors, swords, and daggers;
Anything to cut the world apart

The thing that makes us mortal is the thing we all must hide
There's no connect like disconnect, connecting over wires unconnected in our brains
Detecting only flaws, mistakes, and our exterior fakes
Not success or scores, but failures

Well we can share our blood and scars.
But unfortunately they won't bring us any closer
It just delays what happens next. Infecting us as silhouettes.
These scars were never permanent.

If I am the only one who's ever known
Then just like me you've grown alone
These scars were never permanent
