Cicatrix

Open your eyes and see

The truth will set you free

I struggle to feel any sense of purpose

If I give it my all, will it be worth it?

I’m on my own, I will see this through

These scars will never leave

Time has passed but they still bleed

I see you in my dreams

The ghost of you haunting me

Why does it have to be

So hard to come back home

Relinquish me

Time has passed but they still bleed

These scars will never leave

I see you in my dreams

Your ghost is haunting me

Time has passed but you won’t change

My lungs scream out to you

Mother, please reply

“I have changed my ways”

The echoes of yesterday flow seamlessly

When you lie awake at night

Do you call my name?

Now that I mean nothing

Why have faith in a dead dream

I’ve tried so hard and lost myself

Trying to find my way without you

I’ll walk this path alone

And remember the place that I used to call home

My memories, they taunt me

If you’re out there, can you hear me?

My lungs scream out one last time

In hopes to hear you reply

“Son, I’m sorry for who I was”

Time has passed but they still bleed

These scars will never leave

I see you in my dreams

Your ghost is haunting me

Time has past but you won’t change

My lungs scream out to you

Mother please reply

“I have changed my ways”

A new day upon us

Silence echoes the memory

I’ve lost all self control

Leaving me behind was your only hope

Insecurities fill the abscess

Longing for solutions to erase this image

Of the constructs you built inside of me

And at the end of the day (And at the end of the day)

I wither as you turn away (Turn away)
