Take My Scars - Machine Head

It’s been around for a thousand years

And it’ll be here for plenty more

It is the face hidden in disgrace

That has become now an open sore

It is a false messiah

It is the face of pain

The bringer of the bittersweet

The heretic insane

Take my scars

Through hands of God

I found a better way

To break the walls

Fed all the lies and desensitized

Taught to believe that it is the way

Taught to divide and exactly why

You’ll never understand my rage

You’ve never had to borrow

You’ve never had to steal

You eat it with your silver spoon

For me it’s real

Take my scars

Through hands of God

I found a better way

To break the walls

Blood and concrete

Piss and wine

Whores that fuck

To feel divine

They’ll clean their needles

In their shrine

In ignorance

It’s bliss you find

Why can’t you

Fuckin' open up your eyes?
