Roses & Razor Blades

Standing at the bus stop and heading on over the bridge
 I was listening to the sounds of sirens coming over the hill
 Running down the sidewalk looking at the cracks in the streets
 Staring at expressions on the faces I'll never meet
 Now Im standing on the docks watching the waves as the city sleeps
 Im wondering how something so beautiful can cut so fuckin deep
 And it's like roses and razor blades
 There are scars in this world that are never gonna fade away
 Here in lies my confession
 It's a root of all of my aggression
 See I'm a bitter motherfucker cause Im four steps back fall steps back
 Hit the bottle and I'll never look back
 But I aint gonna give up, no I aint done yet
 Now my only motivations are others expectations
 What kind of punk would I be if I took shit for being me
 And it's like roses and razor blades
 There are scars in this world that are never gonna fade away
 And it's these moments that make us realize
 Maybe life aint so fucking bad
 Better be grateful for what you have
 It's gonna be tough
 Weve got lost lives and broken hearts
 Were outcasts looking for angels
 We find more comfort in strangers
 And every time I look into my own eyes another little piece of me dies
 Well never know what's keeping us alive
