Scars - Terminatryx

Let the pain subside

And the memories fade

Let the trauma divide

The price that you paid

Blades and fire — Bullets and wire

Broken glass — Etched remnants from your past

The scars on your skin

Are so much harder to hide

Than the ones within

The marks on your soul

Multiply inside

Lose your grip and your hold

Physical torture — Mental abuse

Self-mutilation — War wounds you did not choose

Don’t lose control

Hold on, hold on

The scars on your skin

Are so much harder to hide

Than the ones within

The stars will begin

To align in your eyes

Just as all hope dies

Torn to pieces, accidental

Fists and nails, boots and teeth

Compassion failed, not incidental

Degrading words, bring you to your knees

Sadistic — Masochistic

By another’s hand — Or your own

Don’t lose control

Hold on, move on

The damage may be healed,

But the memories, can still remain

Each nerve ending and emotion feels

But you can rise, above the pain

Let the pain subside

And the memories fade

Let the trauma divide

The price that you paid
