SCARRED

Lyrics: John Petrucci
|
Music: Dream Theater
|
To Rise, To Fall.
|
To Hurt, To Hate.
|
To Want, To Wait.
|
To Heal, To Save.
|
Can't hear it.
|
we fear it
|
awareness won't come near it
|
|
Distractive
|
Reactive
|
Disguised in spite of time
|
|
I never bared my emotions
|
My passion always strong
|
I never lost my devotion
|
but somewhere fate went wrong
|
|
Can't let them rape me again
|
Your venom's not family here
|
won't let them fill me with
|
fatalistic remedies
|
|
What if the rest of the world
|
was hopelessly blinded by fear?
|
Where would my sanctity live?
|
Suddenly nobody cares.
|
|
It's never enough
|
you're wasting your time
|
isn't there something I could say?
|
You don't understand
|
You're closing me out
|
How can we live our lives this way?
|
|
You tell me I'm wrong
|
I'm risking my life
|
Still, I have nothing in return
|
I show you my hands
|
You don't see the scars
|
Maybe you'll leave me here to burn.
|
|
What if the rest of the world
|
was hopelessly drowning in vain?
|
Where would our self pity run?
|
Suddenly everyone cares,
|
|
Blood...Heal me
|
Fear...Change me
|
Belief will always save me
|
Blood...Swearing
|
Fear...Staring
|
Conviction made aware
|
|
Give up on misery
|
Turn your back on dissent
|
Leave their distrust behind
|
Wash your hands of regret
|
|
Do you feel you don't know me anymore?
|
And do you feel I'm afraid of your love?
|
And how come you don't want me asking?
|
And how come my heart's not invited?
|
You say you want everyone happy
|
Well, we're not laughing.
|
And how come you don't understand me?
|
And how come I don't understand you?
|
Thirty years say we're in this together
|
So open your eyes.
|
People in prayer for me
|
everyone there for me
|
Sometimes I feel I should face this alone
|
My soul exposed
|
It calms me to know that I won't
|
|
Blood...Heal me
|
Fear...Change me
|
Belief will always save me
|
Blood...Swearing
|
Fear...Staring
|
Conviction made aware
|
|
Give up on misery
|
Turn your back on dissent
|
Leave their distrust behind
|
Wash your hands of regret
|
|
Blood...Heal me
|
Fear...Change me
|
Belief will always save me
|
Blood...Swearing
|
Fear...Staring
|
Conviction made aware
|
|
Learning from misery
|
Staring back at dissent
|
Leaving distrust behind
|
I'm inspired and content
|
|
