Dream Theater - Scarred Lyrics
- john petrucciTo rise, to fall.To hurt, to hate.To want, to wait.To heal, to save.Cant hear itWe fear itAwareness wont come near itDistractiveReactiveDisguised in spite of timeI never bared my emotionMy passion always strongI never lost my devotionBut somewhere fate went wrongCant let them rape me againYour venoms not family hereWont let them fill me withFatalistic remediesWhat if the rest of the worldWas hopelessly blinded by fear?Where would my sanctity live?Suddenly nobody cares.Its never enoughYoure wasting your timeIsnt there something I could say?You dont understandYoure closing me outHow can we live our lives this way?You tell me Im wrongIm risking my lifeStill, I have nothing in returnI show you my handsYou dont see the scarsMaybe youll leave me here to burn.What if the rest of the worldWas hopelessly drowning in vain?Where would our self pity run?Suddenly everyone cares.Blood...heal meFear...change meBelief will always save meBlood...swearingFear...staringConviction made awareGive up on miseryTurn your back on dissentLeave their distrust behindWash your hands of regretDo you feel you dont know me anymore?And do you feel Im afraid of your love?And how come you dont want me asking?And how come my hearts not invited?You say you want everyone happyWell, were not laughing.And how come you dont understand me?And how come I dont understand you?Thirty years say were in this togetherSo open your eyes.People in prayer for meEveryone there for meSometimes I feel I should face this aloneMy soul exposedIt calms me to know that I wontBlood...heal meFear...change meBelief will always save meBlood...swearingFear...staringConviction made awareGive up on miseryTurn your back on dissentLeave their distrust behindWash your hands of regretBlood...heal meFear...change meBelief will always save meBlood...swearingFear...staringConviction made awareLearning from miseryStaring back at dissentLeaving distrust behindIm inspired and content
