Emblems (Live) (Live) Video (MV)

Premonitions spell the end
You've signed your life away
Call your father and confess your sins
So greedy and gluttonous

Emblems of shame
Emblems of shame

Now you know what I've become
Now you see the grave that I've dug
I was once innocent
But I was young and so naive
I'm afraid you've seen my scars
Were cut more than skin deep
I can't feel
A god damn thing

You could change maybe it if you gave it up
'Cause the blood that you spill will never be enough
Hand might grab you and pull and tug
Take nothing, move quickly, and run
'Cause the pain that you've built up will never cease to grow
And the shame that you wear insulates you like a cloak

Let it peel away
Let it peel away

Now you know what I've become
Now you see the grave that I've dug
I was once innocent
But I was young and so naive
I'm afraid you've seen my scars
Were cut more than skin deep
I can't feel
A god damn thing

But there's one thing that I fear
And that's inevitable change
The one thing that I want
Is to stay exactly the same
But the moment has already passed
And the person you knew
Is just a figment of your imagination
I wish it wasn't that cruel
All I have is time
1,2,3 feels like eternity
So as days pass I wait for my scars to heal
But they stick there as reminders I cannot conceal
I hope one day tattoos might mask them
And that the questions you ask won't be about them
I'm tired of wearing these emblems of shame each day
I just want them to fade
