lyrics

Is there somebody here who can read the stars
Tell me how did we ever get this far
We’ve got empty pockets filled with regret
We can see the top
But we ain’t there
We’re bouncing checks
Losing homes
Seven billion of us and yet we’re all alone
If you wanna know who we are
Take a look at our battle scars

Nobody told me that this life would be a war
Well I got the scars right here
And I’ll you show mine
If you show me yours
And I always thought
That my life would be much more
Some say life is pain and suffering
If you ain’t got scars you ain’t from this world

Living with these scars can take it’s toll
Some overcome and some lose hope
Some have bullet holes down to the bone
Some make a change some never grow
We’re addicted to a dangerous mix
Oh how we’re desperate for an easy fix
Oh God only knows who we are
By the look of our battle scars

Nobody told me that this life would be a war
Well I got the scars right here
And I’ll you show mine
If you show me yours
And I always thought
That my life would be much more
Some say life is pain and suffering
If you ain’t got scars you ain’t from this world

Hey

Is there anybody here who can read the stars
Tell me how did we ever get this far
If you wanna know
Who we are
How we got this way what played a part
Just open up your eyes and lean in close
And look at our battle scars
