Scars

(album: Lotus - 2022)

In this place of insecurity
Deception slowly creeps inside of my mind
Where we only had each other
Your embrace was my only solace

You were my only shelter when I was scared
You were the light that dwelled inside the darkness
You were my everything I needed to survive
In this world of corruption

But now you're gone
Drowning in the pool of doubt
Strangled by the thoughts within your mind
Sinking deeper and deeper inside the prison in my head
Can you reach my hand?

I keep trying to save you
But you shove me away
You pushed me away again
I keep trying to save you again and again

Sorrow chains the frailest of hearts
As it beats you down on your knees
It's hard to see the sunlight through the shadows of uncertainty
Where pain becomes the only sanctuary
It's hard to feel prosperity
When all your thoughts betray conformity

I keep trying to save you
But you shove me away
You pushed me away again
I keep trying to save you, save you
You won't let me see the scars
I keep trying to save you again and again

Why do I even care?
This is not a game
You just look the other fucking way
You never let me see the scars
How can I save you
When you won't even let me inside, inside your mind?
Why do I even fucking care?
I don't care, I don't care
When you won't even save yourself

I keep trying to save you
But you shove me away
You pushed me away again
I keep trying to save you again and again
But you shoved me away
You pushed me away
