These Scars

I walked towards the setting sun

I'll prove to them that I am one

Enslaved by the hostile torn

'Cause their demands needs more than so



And when I'm weak and I can't run

Must prove to them that I'm strong

Considering what I've been through

Another cut, another wound



What's the point of touching it

So close you almost taste it?

What's the point of reaching for it

When all doors are closing?



And I wish I could feel it

That feeling of belonging

Instead I'm sentenced to solitude

And all doors are closing



Through endless nights of anguished sleep

With no one there to hear her screams

She's gone beyond where they can't reach

The bell of freedom sets her free



And when I'm weak and I can't run

Must prove to them that I am strong

Can't hide these scars

Can't hide these wounds



What's the point of touching it

So close you almost taste it?

What's the point of reaching for it

When all doors are closing?



And I wish I could feel it

That feeling of belonging

Instead I'm sentenced to solitude

And all doors are closing



I too have fallen helplessly

Spent a thousand nights sleepless

Had every hope of light shattered before me



Preventing me to reach outside

Stopping me from leaving the black

Keeping me locked inside and all I can ask is why?



And when I'm weak and I can't run

Must prove to them that I am strong

Considering what I've been through

Another cut, another wound



What's the point of touching it

So close you could almost taste it?

What's the point of reaching for it

When all you get is more distant from surface?



And what's the point to be strong enough

Gather strength to rise above

To be brave and see it through

When all you get is more distant from surface
