Silent Scars Lyrics

I'm not the child I once was

Yet echoes of pain still linger deep

Gazing eyes cut through like shards of glass

Revealing a soul too fragile to keep

Don't ask how I bear each storm

For my silence speaks what words betray

I shed the masks of false adorn

And offer no proof of yesterday

On quiet nights I roam these haunted lanes

With the moon my sole, unwavering guide

I recall a sweetness lost to bitter stains

Touched by hands that twisted innocence aside

Don't inquire how I scrape through the day

Each step dictated by an unseen command

I learned that defiance must be swept away

Obedience my refuge, the law I understand

At times the night finds me undone

Tears etch (etch) paths where hope once reigned

Yet I rise, mechanical in resolve

Hiding grief behind a smile feigned

Perhaps I stagger under burdens unspoken

Colliding softly with walls of regret

Maybe the past remains a ghost unbroken

And each new dawn offers no escape, not yet

Don't question if solace will ever appear

You've heard the echo of my silent plea

I'm the obedient soul adrift in fear

Left wondering why this fate ensnares me
