Scarred for Life - Nightingale

I’m feeling so empty inside

When the fragments of pain return from the back of my mind

Of all of the lies I’ve been told «We love you» must be the worst

I couldn’t find any reason to stay

My life is too precious to sacrifice

The darkest of shadows follow my soul

Tonight I will join all lost ones on the run

I have to run away

I’m all alone in this world

When the memories arise and punch a new hole in my soul

I’m hiding my head in my hands for the fragments to disappear

I wait for the nightfall, eager to leave

I whisper goodbye to the house of fear

Watching my sister cry in her sleep

One day she will understand

I know I’m scarred for life

All messed up with no place to go

I’m out here all alone

Lonelier than the streets I wander

I’ll always have these scars inside

I’m scarred for life

I’m lost in the cold of the night

Looking for shelter until the dawn turns to day

I’m holding my hands to my head

For the silence to reappear

The fragments and places remembered with fear

Never to leave, just fade away

I’ll carry them with me forever and a day

Just like a nail in my heart
