Lyrics to 'Scars'

SCARS



Reaching for the Stars but I’m settling for the scars

And you have seen these marks that have tore my world apart

Reaching for the stars, settling for scars

Reaching for the stars, settling for scars

I’m reaching for the stars, settling for scars

I’m reaching, I’m reaching, I’m reaching



Verse 1

Compounded by me, I think I’m going insane

This world that I’ve been comfortable with is blowing up in my face

So light a candle in the memory of the man that I used to be

Move it along bro, Ain’t nothing to see

So Lift me up, let me down, speed me up, spin me round

I wanna rock, wanna rock, wanna rock right now

It’s a spiritual journey but you can come along

Open up your mind but be ready to have it blown



Reaching for the Stars but I’m settling for the scars

And you have seen these marks that have tore my world apart



Verse 2

This is all wrong, this ain’t the way it’s supposed to be

I’m supposed to be the man, I need to feed my family

So bless this microphone and these old six strings

The words that I speak till the whole world sings

I’m spreading light and love across this land

And if the weight of the world falls on me

I’m gonna keep on praying

I don’t belly up man, I’m with the long hall

Like a 95 trucker dude, I keep rolling on

Yeah



Reaching for the Stars but I’m settling for the scars

And you have seen these marks that have tore my world apart

Reaching for the stars, settling for scars

Reaching for the stars, settling for scars

I’m reaching for the stars, settling for scars

I’m reaching, I’m reaching, I’m reaching



Verse 3

Nine times out of ten, I’m gonna do what I’m a say

Ten times out of ten, I’m doing it the wrong way

I guess you can say I’m sort of a rebel,

Living in my head full of angels and devils

This world has beat me up but will not keep me down

I pop up a swinging, My dreams are scattered now

Skipping into the fray I go, till the last good fight I will ever ever know

Yeah



Reaching for the Stars but I’m settling for the scars

And you have seen these marks that have tore my world apart

(repeat)
