To the innocent
I don’t want you to see
The scars on my body
For then you’ll realise
What can happen in life
And I don’t want you to know
Of all the dire things it can bring
Chorus
How it can break you down
How it can let you drown
How it can suffocate you
How it can be so cruel
How it can create demons
And how it can destroy dreams
Experiences can render you blind
So every now and then you’ll hide
You’ll be tormented by lies
And won’t know how to survive
I was there many times before
So the scars show how I was torn
Chorus
Some of my scars I bear proudly
Although I would admit it rarely
Each one has its own meaning
And each one has a memory
To which I have to hold on
So I can survive what is to come
I pray you will never see
Some of these things
That you won’t have to face
What I have in my days
I pray you will be spared
Anything that could render you scared
Chorus
Yet I wouldn’t change the past
For I know the pain won’t last
Everything in life fades away
Even the good things don’t stay
My skin bares the road to my soul
And enables me to reach my goal
Chorus
