Scars
Upon a Burning Body Lyrics

The guilt, the shame drives you insane
The overwhelming feeling of guilt and shame causes psychological distress.

Burn it all, burn it all, burn it all
Forget everything and move on by eliminating it completely.

There's nothing to gain burning it all and ignoring the pain
Burning everything to ignore the pain won't provide any benefits.

Tell me what's the reason
Asking for the purpose behind something.

Give me something to believe in
Asking for something to rely on.

Stop. This isn't insecurity
Requesting to cease as it is not related to personal lack of confidence or assurance.

Stop. And I don't know what you want from me
Asking someone to stop because their intentions are unclear.

Stop. Forcing your standards upon me
Demanding that someone stop imposing their own beliefs or ideals on others.

Stop. Because I'm better than you'll ever be
Asking someone to stop as they will never reach the same level of superiority.

I'll never. I'll never re-live my past again
Declaring that the past will never be repeated.

So don't ever, don't ever come at me like that again
Warning someone not to repeat such behavior in the future.

And the scars that light up the sky
The scars are a sign of strength.

Show the strength in me
The scars prove one's resilience and power.

Through the pain and the sacrifice
Enduring hurt and loss.

There's still strength in me
Despite everything, I'm still strong.

To take away the sorrow
Finding ways to eradicate the pain.

The more lives I touch the less I feel
The more one interacts with others, the less sense of self they have.

End it all, mother fucker
The lyrics reference suicide as a way to escape emotional pain.

And seal the deal
Making sure there's no turning back from that decision.

I'm no stranger to the place where demons wait
Reference to personal struggles with inner demons and emotional turmoil.

They fill up my heart with hate so
The demons cause feelings of anger and hatred.

I'm a bad, bad man without a doubt
Proudly announcing that they are a bad person.

I'll chew you up and spit you the fuck out
Threatening to overpower and humiliate an opponent.

I'm calling you out
Challenging someone to a confrontation.

And now you'll see there's still strength in me
Believing that they will prove their strength to their opponent.
