Your scars are like the stars
they shine so brightly
To others
they may be unsightly
In honesty
your scars invite me
like a skin
I would hold you tightly
I saw the story unfold on your skin
I knew
you were all I needed in this life of sin
Long sleeves couldn't hide your cuts
and i'm so used to being shot
I spilt my guts
Our faces were proud
we stood tall
the face is the mask that hides it all
I'll quit that face a thousand times
to follow tracks that lead me to a beautiful mind
Was it a drunken accident or did people hurt you?
the beauty of what you repress
It shines right through you
even though you try to hide it
shaped by what you despise
You will deny it
restricted by your defence mechanisms
Couldn't break those mental chains with an exorcism
I only broke through because I'm scarred like you
I knew exactly what you were going through
When you told me what they'd done to your skin
it was like a volcano had erupted within
I would deny them hands
They blemish the only thing that holds you like I can
I turn anger to passion hoping love will heal you
For you to know they touched you
but they could never feel you
The way that I do
They way you know, I love you so
because I'm fucked up too
I'll hold your hand when you can't hold mine
whenever you succeed to hide that shine
I'll love you even though your love is pain
coz you saw my scars and didn't walk away
you knew hiding made me feel ashamed
but that's a different story for a different day
We both got hurt growing up in the dirt
and bad memories of wearing a skirt
in your scars
I see the sum of your fears
your story, the very reason
you are fierce!
I see the lies behind that smile
I see the blood of emotional scars
bleed out of your eyes
In your eyes I see your song
the more I explored your scars
The more they shone
as we lay here battlescarred
my scars are why I loved you
from the start
My actions invited you
to a mind that could really excite you
coz
My scars are like the stars
they shine, they shine
a shine to which others are blind
I love my scars because they define me
and I had to see your scars
because they
shined so brightly...
