Lyrics:

SCARRED FOR LIFE

I know the pain of
Being alive
I know the struggle
Trying to survive
I know if I hold on
A little longer
What doesn’t do me in
Gonna make me stronger

So many cuts from the sharp edge of the knife
So many battles leaving me scarred for life
But it’s all right
I’m fighting the good fight
Scarred for life

I got a new mark
For every lesson learned
Never got too far
‘Cause all my bridges burned
But time heals all wounds
Skin grows back harder
‘til one day pretty soon
I got a suit of armor

So many cuts from the sharp edge of the knife
So many battles leaving me scarred for life
But it’s all right
I’m fighting the good fight
Scarred for life

They wrote me off like
I was a goner
But I wear their scorn like
A badge of honor

Use it or lose it
Always our choice
Got scars to prove it
Got a reason to rejoice

So many cuts from the sharp edge of the knife
So many battles leaving me scarred for life
But it’s all right
I’m fighting the good fight
Scarred for life


About:

The second EP from the George Collins Band, "Songs for Grown-ups," is a collection of tunes brimming with literate and insightful narratives and sharp pop hooks.

Collins’s songwriting hits that sweet spot where art and craft intersect. This passionate pop/rock with a modern vintage feel recalls masterful tunesmiths like the Beatles, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, XTC, Elvis Costello, Tom Petty, Counting Crows, The Wallflowers, Crowded House and Wilco, among others.

His older siblings and cousins turned him on to music at a very young age, and he received his first guitar at age four. Collins started writing songs immediately, and pursued both guitar and piano through his youth, taking lessons in a variety of styles while playing in bands and fine-tuning his songwriting.

During his university years, Collins supported himself by performing as a solo act in pubs around Charlottesville, VA, where he became well-known on the vibrant local music scene. He also played in an eleven-piece Earth, Wind & Fire-esque band called Common Knowledge which included Carter Beauford and the late LeRoi Moore. Beauford and Moore later became founding members of The Dave Matthews Band.

“While backstage with Carter and Dave during their most recent concert in Prague in 2019, I joked that I was in The Dave Matthews Band even before Dave Matthews,” Collins says with a good-natured laugh. “They both burst out laughing, and Dave clicked his beer bottle to mine and said, ‘If anyone ever asks me about that, I will back you up one hundred percent!’”
