Bloody Nose

(专辑： Once More, There Is Nothing Left To Figure Out - 2018)

Your eyes are nearly swollen closed
You had a bloody nose
There wasn't a spot without a cut or a bruise
Down to your toes
You shouldn't be surprised
No one wants to be friends with
Somebody whose best friends did
Something like that to someone you're friends with

And you got out of work
Around one AM
You rode home fast
Not fast enough to get away from them
You finally arrived home
Around four AM
Crawled through your door into your bed
Bloody as you'd ever been

You woke around eight with an ache
Rolled up a doobie then you prayed for a break
From a god you hadn't talked to or even tried to
Since the eighth grade

And I arrive
Shortly after nine
And shortly after that
You look me in the eye
Said, "Please don't cry
On account of my misfortune
Especially not for this
Especially not for this"

It reminds me what my mother did
Before she stopped giving a shit
I guess I looked too much like him
When I was a little kid

Well, kid, I'm proud of you
And he would be too
Well, kid, I'm proud of you
Not every scar defines your world

Well, kid, I'm proud of you
And he would be too
Well, kid, I'm proud of you
Not every scar defines your world

Well, kid, I'm proud of you
And he would be too
Well, kid, I'm proud of you
Not every scar defines your world
