These Scars - Evergrey

I walk towards the setting sun

I’ll prove to them that I am one

Enslaved by their hearts so torn

Cause their demands needs more than so

And when I’m weak then I can’t run

Must prove to them that I’m strong

Considering what I’ve been through

Another cut another wound

What’s the point of touching it

So close you almost taste it

What’s the point of reaching for it

When all doors are closing

And I wish I could feel it

That feeling of belonging

Instead I’m sentenced to solitude

And all doors are closing

Through endless nights of anguished sleep

With no one there to hear her screams

She’s gone beyond where they can’t reach

The bell of freedom sets her free

And when I’m weak then I can’t run

Must prove to them that I am strong

Can’t hide these scars

Can’t hide these wounds

What’s the point of touching it

So close you almost taste it

What’s the point of reaching for it

When all doors are closing

And I wish I could feel it

That feeling of belonging

Instead I’m sentenced to solitude

And all doors are closing

I too have fallen helplessly

Spent a thousand nights sleepless

Had every hope of light shattered before me

Preventing me to reach outside

Stopping me from leaving the blind

Keeping me locked inside

And all I can ask is why

And when I’m weak then I can’t run

Must prove to them that I’m strong

Considering what I’ve been through

Another cut another wound

What’s the point of touching it

So close you could almost taste it

What’s the point of reaching for it

When all you get is more distant from surface

And what’s the point to be strong enough

Gather strength and rise above

To be brave and see it through

When all you get is more distant from surface
