samira wyld & peter alan edwards - a thousand scars lyrics
the sweat drips from my brow
furrowed deep
running down my cheek
i look at you
and wonder how
how many scars do you see
can you see them
on my legs
arm, and face
sometimes, makeup can hide them
without a trace
yes, they’re the ones you see
they’re the ones i let you see
on a good day
on a bad day
well
that is different
i find the clothes that cover the scars
on my legs
my arms
i like the winter
it’s a charm
because i can wear gloves
and long sleeves
to hide my hands and arms
you see them on my face
but glasses and a hat help
especially the type with lace
i wear my hair down
to cover my neck and chest
and lace up shoes i’ll always wear
so you cannot see my scarred feet
red,
raw, and bare
yes, cold climates are the best
to hide the scars
that rest
upon my red, swollen and white marks
that dot, and mar my skin
oh, where do i begin
i have a thousand scars
and a thousand more
the ones you cannot see
the ones ingrained deep
and embedded
lines that leave a trail
across my heart like an earthquake
measuring 9.1 on the richter scale
we focus on the physical
we turn away for fear
of ridicule
we hide them
or hide away
sometimes we embrace and love them,
and don’t care what others say
your skin is clear my love
pure, and angelic like a dove
not a scar to be found
your body and skin perfect
no fear to be around
confident and beautiful in your surrounds
i look, and then i look again
and i see them
running from your feet
through your veins
crashing into your heart
where they part
and branch out like a road map
of places been
remembered
enjoyed and allured
where sorrows parted
digging deep
and endured
yes, my love, i see them
a thousand scars, and a thousand more
you look perfect, unlike me
it’s physical you see
people back away
and turn their heads from me
i look into your eyes
and i see
i see the truth
i see the pain
the harm
that is written on every inch of skin
on your arm
one scar can see another from afar
so, just imagine
a thousand scars
and one thousand more
can reach inside
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
touch from end to end
and will see you
for evermore
