Do a Number on Me
Embracing Scars: Finding Strength in Past Pain
Lyrics
I wear these scars with pride
I proudly bear the wounds on my body
And I will never let them change me
I won't allow these scars to change who I am
They’re all I have to remind me
Scars are a reminder of my darkest days
Of the darkest days I have ever seen
Recalling the most challenging times I've experienced
Something beautiful in tragedy
Finding beauty in tragic experiences
The stories are written through my body
My life stories are evident through the scars on my body
Through my body, lives insanity
Insanity is embedded in my existence
I remember who I’m supposed to be
Retaining my true identity
Better face reality
Confronting reality and not avoiding it
I’m not gonna sit here to be studied
Refusing to be a subject of study or scrutiny
Some call it weak some say it’s a part of me
Differing opinions on strength and vulnerability
I don’t have flaws I have a past
Viewing past actions as experiences, not flaws
And with these marks I’ll never go back
Committing to never revert to my past
Can’t judge someone you don’t know
Discouraging judgment without understanding
Don’t have regret I live with it
Living without regrets, accepting the past
I’m not scared to show
Unafraid to reveal how challenges contribute to growth
How this shit helps me grow
Acknowledging the positive impact of difficulties
Don’t judge what you don’t know
Advising against judging the unknown
Go down a road you don’t wanna go
Warning against undesirable paths
Let me agree to disagree
Agreeing to disagree and allowing healing
Now let me heal stop trying to fix me
Insanity persists within me
Through my body, lives insanity
Retaining my true identity
I remember who I’m supposed to be
Acknowledging that challenges are part of who I am
This shit is a part of me
Embracing challenges as integral to my identity
You might think I’m a runaway
Perceived as someone who runs away
But who are you to judge me
Challenging judgment from others
Every piece has its part to play
Recognizing the role of every experience in shaping me
Together they make who I am and I
Accepting the entirety of who I am
Won’t change the things I’ve done
Committing to not changing past actions
Just never been the person to get up and run, fuck
Not inclined to run away from challenges
My memories remind me my past is real
Memories serve as a reminder of a genuine past
I don’t fight what’s been
Choosing not to fight the past
I let it be, cause I can’t fix it
Acceptance of the past without attempting to fix it
It’s a part of me it’s inside of me
Viewing the past as an inseparable part of me
I’m making peace with the darkness
Finding peace with the darkness within
Cause it plays its part in this
Acknowledging the role of darkness in my life
I’m not running I’m accepting
Choosing acceptance over running away
It’s not easy to quit
Recognizing the difficulty of quitting
Some call it weak some say it’s a part of me
Differing opinions on strength and vulnerability
I don’t have flaws I have a past
Viewing past actions as experiences, not flaws
And with these marks I’ll never go back
Committing to never revert to my past
Can’t judge someone you don’t know
Discouraging judgment without understanding
I’ll let it show
Openly displaying the impact of experiences
How this shit helps me grow
Acknowledging the positive growth from challenges
