Scarred - Emergence

Your stolen innocence lost beyond recovery

A cold ambivalence desecrates that memory

A warped reality an expectation spurned

Lost in banality

And paradise burned

Scars cross your tender flesh

Your world is torn apart

A black malaise

No words of praise

Can sooth your aching heart

Lost an weary stained and dreary

Still your life goes on

Cold and Jaded joys have faded

Soon they will be gone

Clinging to sanity the walls are closing in

Trapped in venality the cycle starts again

Seeking security an expectation spurned

I mourned your purity

And paradise burned

Scars cross your tender flesh

Your world is torn apart

A black malaise

No words of praise

Can sooth your aching heart

Lost an weary stained and dreary

Still your life goes on

Cold and Jaded joys have faded

Soon they will be gone
