Bruises And Stains Mark Ambor

[Verse 1]
You never know a good thing 'til it passes
'Til it lights you up and leaves you in its ashes
It's always hiding money underneath the mattress for a rainy day
And I wish that I could find a way to slow down
Help the kid I used to know maybe find his way back out
All the callous of the world has dragged his soul down
But who is to blame?

[Chorus]
I wanna sing all the words of a sinner
I wanna live by the words of a saint
Give all my love to the world like my mother
Finding the pleasure in the pain
I want the devil to yell on my shoulder
I want the angel to call him insane
I wanna look at myself in the mirror
Proud of my bruises and my stains

[Verse 2]
And I'm trying to make friends with all the anger
So I go outside 'cause maybe I could walk off all the hurt
You know pale skin always tans after a sunburn
So life is good

[Chorus]
I wanna sing all the words of a sinner
I wanna live by the words of a saint
Give all my love to the world like my mother
Finding the pleasure in the pain
I want the devil to yell on my shoulder
I want the angel to call him insane
I wanna look at myself in the mirror
Proud of my bruises and my stains
