Cuts and Bruises Songtext
von 22‐20s

With a heart full of black holes,
Couldn't take a chance.
& A skin of wet paper,
I couldn't wear it out.

& You keep on knocking, but I'm still in,
You keep on knocking, but I'm still in.
All you ever got were cuts & bruises.

There's glass in my jawbone,
You hear it when I talk.
There's faults down my backbone,
You can see it when I walk.

So leave me by the roadside,
The spiders & the bedbugs
Couldn't bite me like the boys' talk
Or bleed me like the night does.


& You keep on knocking, but I'm still in,
You keep on knocking, but I'm still in.
All you ever got were cuts & bruises,
All you ever know were cuts & bruises,
All you ever got.

Never understood,
With the credit comes the blame,
& There goes the glory,
Now here comes the shame.

& You keep on knocking, but I'm still in,
You keep on knocking, but I'm still in.

All you ever got, cuts & bruises,
All you ever know, cuts & bruises,
My head on the block, cuts & bruises,
All you ever got-

& It's all you've ever known,
All you've ever known,
It's all you've ever known.
