Marked

Bad Religion · Stranger Than Fiction [1994]

If I'm a monster,

I am a willing one,

This roller coaster ride is an enticing one,

On the tip of a continuum flowing wavelike

Through disorder carry me like a vessel to water



Everything you see leaves a mark on your soul,

Everything you feel leaves a mark on your soul,

Everything you touch leaves a mark on your soul,

Everything you make leaves a mark on your soul



If I can touch it,

I can destroy it,

If it's imaginable to some degree,

I can become it,

Like a hungry turning vortex that just flickers to existence,

Consuming bits and pieces until I'm finally extinguished



Everyone you see leaves a mark on your soul,

Everyone you bare leaves a mark on your soul,

Everyone you touch leaves a mark on your soul,

Everyone you love leaves a mark on your soul



Everything you take leaves a mark on your soul,

Everything you give leaves a mark on your soul,

And all the fear and loneliness that's impossible to control,

And every tear you cry leaves a mark on your soul
