Scars Speak_explicit

Yeah… You ever hear a man talk… And know he’s full of shit?

I got a voice like gravel and a past that won’t sit still Every word I let out got a body it could kill Mama said “be honest,” but that shit don’t pay the bills So I learned how to bleed quiet, learned how not to feel

Got a name in a few towns I don’t say out loud Got a ghost in the mirror when I stand too proud Yeah I laugh with the boys but I don’t laugh clean Every smile got a crack where the dark leaks in

You hear me talk — sounds calm, sounds right But you don’t hear the war that I fight every night

My scars speak louder than my voice ever could Every word’s just a cover, never say what I should Got blood in the rhythm, got pain in the tone If you listen too close — you’ll hear everything I don’t

Yeah my scars speak — yeah they scream, they confess I don’t need no truth — you can hear it in the mess

I said “I’m fine” so many times it started soundin’ real Till I woke up feelin’ nothin’, that’s a different kind of deal Yeah I loved a woman once — she loved who I pretend When she saw what’s underneath, that’s where the story ends

Got dirt on my hands I can’t wash in the rain Got sins I don’t name, just carry the pain And I ain’t askin’ forgiveness, I ain’t built that way If God got a problem, He can say that shit to my face

Don’t ask me what I been through… You don’t want that truth.

My scars speak louder than my voice ever could Every word’s just a cover, misunderstood Got fire in my chest, got ghosts in my tone If you hear me sing — you ain’t hearin’ alone

Yeah my scars speak — every line I suppress Ain’t no clean story — just a fucked up mess

Yeah… Some men talk…

Some men just bleed through it.
