Scarred I am scarred from the actions of others I am scarred from the actions of self I am scarred by the times That I held back the storm With no one to turn to Nobody else I have risen beyond what I used to be I have fought hard to gain what I lacked But I still hear the footsteps Of my failures on my heels And everything I thought Ieft behind is clinging to my back I've made myself a fortress In pursuit of all my dreams But it's built upon my self doubt And more fragile than it seems I can struggle to forget That I've always felt alone But the consequence Of standing on my own I've been broken Nothing can make me whole again I've been fighting Battles that can't be won Drowning in a sea of self-hate Searching for an answer that never was I've spent half of my life trying to kill my demons And I'm frightened that the process May have turned me into one of them I've looked into the darkness of my personal abyss But I feel it staring back And it sees right through me I am beaten but unbroken
I am bloodied but unbowed And these years have left me shattered But I'll make it through somehow I think that's probably why I've been alone all my life I think that's probably why I am lost and I'm scared that I can't find my way I've spent half of my life trying to kill my demons And I'm frightened that the process May have turned me into one of them I've looked into the darkness of my personal abyss But I feel it staring back And it sees right through me Now I struggle to forget That I've always felt alone And I can't escape the consequence Of being on my own I've been broken Nothing can make me whole again I've been fighting Battles that can't be won I've been tortured Shaped into what I am Scars I've hidden Through my entire life Searching for what Never was Drowning in an Endless sea of doubt
