Scars Of The Past

(album: Luciferous - 2019)

If I could turn back time
I would do it again
All the scars of my past

Are a part of who I am

This empty world (this empty world)
Changed me forever (forever)
I had to do what I had to do
Just to survive
These wounds won't heal (these wounds won't heal)
Try to numb the pain but I still feel
Every incision that I've ever made
(Every incision I've made)

I cannot ignore it anymore

I cannot suppress the hatred building up inside of me
Self-loathing energy, I am my own enemy
It's getting harder to distract myself from the pain
Self-loathing energy, I am my own enemy

I live in a paradox
Where the pain I feel is a paradise
Picking at the open wounds
Until the trauma inside me has been exhumed
The poison inside me
Will run its course
Consuming me from the inside
Killing me with no remorse

This empty world (this empty world)
Changed me forever (forever)
I had to do what I had to do
Just to survive
These wounds won't heal (these wounds won't heal)
Try to numb the pain but I still feel
Every incision that I've ever made
(Every incision I've made)

If I could turn back time
I would do it again
All the scars of my past
Are a part of who I am
If I could turn back time, I would do it again
All the scars of my past are a part of who I am
If I could turn back time, I would do it again
All the scars of my past are a part of who I am

I wear the skin of a dead man
An hourglass running out of sand
I spit in the face of their judgement
Answering to no one, I answer to nothing (nothing)
I answer to nothing
I answer to no one, I answer to nothing

This empty world (this empty world)
Changed me forever (forever)
I had to do what I had to do
Just to survive
These wounds won't heal (these wounds won't heal)
Try to numb the pain but I still feel
Every incision that I've ever made
(Every incision I've made)
