Scar Tissue

Folder: 
Gothic

A cut to maim

A cut for fame

A cut to name, my endless pain



A slice to heal, a slice to tear

Heart’s got scar tissue everywhere



Lost in the field of all the truth

Never to find, never to mind

Scars of olden, scars of time

Scars of skin, and scars of mind



Scar tissue, take away my fame

Scar tissue, heal my deepest pain

Scar tissue, please won’t you stay

Take my sanity away



Walk the earth and you shall see

Scars of truth, fall over me

Bend the lies into your knife

And cut my heart, tear the truth



Time heals all wounds as the clock ticks

But time is cruel, and time plays tricks

Spinning around in all the words

Worlds collide, and scars won’t hide



Scar tissue, take away my fame

Scar tissue, heal my deepest pain

Scar tissue, please won’t you stay

Take my sanity away



Dawn does break upon my heart

Sunlight sets my worlds apart

Flames of love shine all around

Now my voice the only sound



Pick the many, pick the few

Relish memories anew

Take those scars that adorn your heart

And scatter them all, ‘till miles apart



Time will tell, but time has failed

Time has lied, and time just bailed

Now the only thing I hold,

Are scars of new, and scars of old



Will I find the one true light?

From afar, it shines so bright

Seems so near, but yet so far

All I have, a lonely scar



Scar tissue, take away my fame

Scar tissue, heal my deepest pain

Scar tissue, please won’t you stay

Take my sanity away



Scar tissue, I love you so

Scar tissue, Please take control

Scars of old, and scars of new

Take the knife, and cut the truth

Scars of the heart and mind will someday heal, but the physical ones will always be there, waiting to remind you of the pain.
