Scars

Under my skin
I've got wounds like you
But unlike yours
Mine only hurt me

Inside my heart
There's a silent voice
But unlike yours
Mine didn't cause you to bleed

Inside your mind
You hold on to wrongs
Save them like
They're all you can find
They're all you can feel
Under your cloud
Sit alone in fear
And you don't believe
That your heart will heal

In your blue eyes
I don't look like a friend
But would you know
The difference

I say I can't breathe
But you're soul blind
What use are eyes
When you're missing all sense

You only know
Your own pain
A closed heart
Can't see the stars
Or anything else

Little black bird
Alone in a tree
No care who will hear
No care who is near
Just singing so free
Get out from under
What won't let you
Breathe
Open your eyes
On the inside

Hard lessons learned
Life has time
Though you may not
Scars you'll find
