Counting Scars

Cold floor, staring at a cracked white ceiling

Blank walls, hollowed-out and stripped of feeling There’s an eviction notice hanging

by the door And I can’t even find the strength to care

anymore

I used to pray for things that money could buy

Now I’m just waiting for the lights to die

I tried to fix it,

tried to pull us through But there is absolutely nothing left that

I can do

I feel a paralysis growing in my chest My hands are shaking,

I have nothing left The ladder broke,

the sky turned black And there is no way to crawl our

way back

Lately,

I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep

Drowning in the promises we couldn't keep And baby,

I stop praying, the sky is too far

No more counting dollars,

we’re

just counting scars

We are completely trapped under these stars

Yeah, look at where we are

I watch you cry,

but my arms won't move There is no miracle left to prove

We traded our youth for a debt we can't pay And the

world just keeps turning as it slips away I remember when we

thought we’d escape this town Now the weight of the ceiling is

just crushing us down I’m screaming inside but it makes no sound

We’re just waiting for the floor to give out

I feel the heavy water filling up my lungs We are forgotten,

we are the broken ones The river is dry,

the fire went cold

And we’re completely helpless as the dark takes hold

Lately,

I’ve been, I’ve been losing sleep

Drowning in the promises we couldn't keep And baby,

I stop praying, the sky is too far

No more counting dollars,

we’re

just counting scars

We are completely trapped under these stars

Yeah, look at where we are

Take the money, let it burn We sank to the bottom,

lessons never learned

They said everything that kills you makes you feel alive But everything

that killed us took our will to survive

It took our will to survive

We can't even try

No more counting stars The dark is who we are

We went too far

Just counting scars

We can
