Pick your favorite scar

[Intro] YEAH! [Verse 1] The contract's bleeding on the table, the baggage makes a heavy sound. Everybody’s got a compass when they’re not the ones who hit the ground. You can wait for anesthesia, watch the calendar decay; but the heavy doors won't soften just because you look away. I spent years demanding clean hands from a world that trades in flesh and bone, as if every single exit ought to open without charging you a toll! [Pre-Chorus 1] So stop begging for the painless! Ask yourself, when this is done, which ghost will still feel like your own when you are standing in the ruin?! [Chorus] Pick your favorite scar! Oh-oh, 'cause everybody bleeds one! When every single exit hurts, choose what leaves you who you are! Pick your favorite scar! You don’t get to dodge the fall! There are choices made of collateral pick the one you’ll still defend against the wall! Oh-oh, pick your favorite scar! [Post-Chorus] Any scar you like! Any price you pay! Life will never hand you a sterile getaway! Any scar you like make sure it’s yours! [Verse 2] The dealer lays the options down like poison printed on a screen; funny how the word “choice” mutates when the guillotine is in between. The chorus says, “Just give it time.” The panic says, “You’ve stayed too long.” Both of them are so damn logical and completely useless when the math is wrong. I used to think regret was failure, proof I took the contaminated road. Now I know a scar is just a receipt: you picked a burden and you carried what it owed! [Pre-Chorus 2] There are bridges burning backward. There are trenches dug ahead. Freedom isn’t finding painless sometimes freedom is deciding which disaster gets you out of bed! [Chorus] Pick your favorite scar! Oh-oh, 'cause everybody bleeds one! When every single exit hurts, choose what leaves you who you are! Pick your favorite scar! You don’t get to dodge the fall! There are choices made of collateral pick the one you’ll still defend against the wall! Oh-oh, pick your favorite scar! [Post-Chorus] Any scar you like! Any price you pay! Life will never hand you a sterile getaway! Any scar you like make sure it’s yours! [Instrumental] [Bridge] I used to envy the naive who could point and call it right, as if somewhere in the crossfire one road stayed completely white. But every puzzle has a deficit. Every "yes" assassinates a "no". The point was never leaving unmarked. The point was knowing which mark you let them show. [Build] You kept asking which one’s right! Wrong question! PICK THE COLLATERAL YOU CAN DEFEND! PICK THE DAMAGE YOU’D TAKE AGAIN! IF EVERY WAY OUT IS AN EXIT WOUND— DON’T LET A STRANGER CHOOSE YOUR SCAR! [Final Chorus] Pick your favorite scar! Oh-oh, 'cause everybody bleeds one! When every single exit hurts, choose what leaves you who you are! Pick your favorite scar! You were never dodging the fall! Some decisions leave you bleeding pick the one that still feels yours when you recall! Oh-oh, pick your favorite scar! [Final Post-Chorus] Any scar you like! Any price you pay! Some things cost you everything even when you walk away! Any scar you like make sure it’s yours!
