[Verse 1 – Xersize]

You talk about issues? I guess I got a few

You really wanna listen? Okay, gimme a minute or two

You know about anxiety? 'Cause I sure do

Or should we start with abandonment? That's a good one, too

You're getting close to someone, finally start to open up

But you're scared everyday and all you really wanna do is shut

The door you opened to'em, get away before they hurt you

If you're already alone, then there's nobody to desert you

Now logically you know that this person isn't the last one

And you know that what you're feeling is just trauma from a past love

But you can't shake the feeling that they will do you the same

And you'll have to live through the losses over again

So at the first sign of struggle, fight or flight just starts to kick in

It hits you in your chest, feels like your heart just really caves in

The adrenaline starts to pump, the sweat's already drippin'

You feel it in the pit of your stomach, that feeling is so sickening

How can you have a relationship when you can't trust another being?

How can you start a family with somebody that ain't seeing

The fact that they will leave you when they see this side of you

If you don't flee first, that is, and then that is on you

[Chorus – Madeleine]

Oooooh

The scars I bear

In my mind

Oooooh

Makes it hard

To survive

[Verse 2 – Xersize]

Wait, what was that first one? Oh yeah, I remember now

Anxiety, your closest friend, he's been with you forever now

You grow up with one another, you two even share a room now

And guess who is the bigger spoon? It sure as shit ain't you now

See, you can have a perfect day where everything is going great

And then just like that everything just starts to disintegrate

For no apparent reason, but the heartbeat's in your ears

And the room starts to spin and all you're hearing is your fears

They're laughing at you loudly, and look, here come the tears

You're gonna have a black out again? Maybe down a couple beers?

But you know that it don't help, right? Drinking makes it worse

Even though you feel like it's impossible that it can hurt

It can't get any worse, right? Well, I saved the best one for last

I think he's coming up the driveway, he's always going fast

But yeah, he's pulling up now, let me get the door

And show you the only thing that we both fear even more

[Chorus – Madeleine]

Oooooh

The scars I bear

In my mind

Oooooh

Makes it hard

To survive

[Verse 3 – Xersize]

Let me introduce you; this here is depression

He's just a result of every feeling you're suppressin'

Everything you lock inside? This guy make sure it stays in

So he can feed from everything, every feeling that you bring

He sits there and takes his time, and when it's right he stops by

And when he's here you'll know it, there's not a second then that goes by

Without his intervention, he'll bleed you 'till you feel dry

Sometimes even literally, you know them scars you try to hide?

It may have been your hand that held the razor or the sharp knife

But he's the one laughing from the back, in the shadows behind

He's the ugly face you see in the mirror every time

And he's the voice inside your mind that feeds you all the lies

That makes you feel so worthless, all the nights where you just cried

And every sunny morning where you wished that you just died

Peacefully in your sleep, he's the one behind it all

He's not your best friend, he's the reason that you always fall

I know he keeps a tight grip, but trust me, that's not love

He's a culmination of everything I said above

Abandonment, anxiety, doubt and so much more

He is everything combined that beat you down unto the floor

Look at you, laying there, sobbing uncontrollably

When all these dark feelings are robbing you emotionally

I'm sorry that you have to go through this all on your own

But then again, with these guys with you, you'll never be alone

[Chorus – Madeleine]

Oooooh

The scars I bear

Makes it hard

Oooooh

Makes it hard

To survive
