Ha, this one is all over the map but it's such a fun song. I wish i could play it but I left my guitar at home and I'm travelling and it's the last day of FAWM :( For now I hope you like the lyrics.
I was born into the Baptist system
My first sentence was a Bible verse
The only worse thing then earning prison
Is if your family brought you there first
From kindergarden to Bible college
I learned a picture-perfect way to be
Every mistake was unacknowledgede
Bury your sins so the saints won't see
I always wondered why we had to show such a stainless heart
Meanwhile our savior had holy hands with visible scars
Every Life needs surgery
Humanity is Hard
We get wounds of the worst degree
Then we make those into art
We're a beautiful, bruised reality
And heaven is a stomach with a visible scar
Hustle til my father finally believes in me
Hustle til it makes me a ghost
Heavy is the burden of the need to prove
Your worth to the god that you fear the most
I used to labor sunrise to sunset
Trying to impress someone else
Turns out, the deeper problem was
I didn't believe in myself
The best gift I ever got
Was the day my house of cards fell apart,
That's when I discovered the biggest hearts
Are those who walk the world with visible scars
Every Life needs surgery
Humanity is Hard
We get wounds of the worst degree
Then we make those into art
We're a beautiful, bruised reality
And heaven is a stomach with a visible scar
Perfection is distraction
Keeps us from gaining traction
A flawless life is fiction
Turn off your television
Comparing lives is torture
Keeps you from moving forward
Your greatest strength lies in
Exactly who you are
You don't need any cover up
Show me your deepest mark
The best tattoo is a visible scar
The best tattoo is a visible scar
Every Life needs surgery
Humanity is Hard
We get wounds of the worst degree
Then we make those into art
We're a beautiful, bruised reality
And heaven is a stomach with a visible scar

The best tattoo is a visible scar. Great hook line.
