Counting Scars

Out of darkness. into the light
In the freedom, there's no fear
Years ago, I was lost
Living life in the black
Ready to give up, ready to give in
Take a final bow and curtain call
Reached a point of no return

I count all my scars
Painted in invisible ink
From all the lost wars
I count all my scars
Painted in invisible ink
From a final battle won

Staggering backwards, blinded
Crashing waves, drowning slowly
On a road someone else drove
No control and no exit signs
With silent tears on my pillow
Reached the point of no return

I count all my scars
Painted in invisible ink
From all the lost wars
I count all my scars
Painted in invisible ink
From a final battle won

Reached the point of no return

I count all my scars
Painted in invisible ink
From all the lost wars
I count all my scars
Painted in invisible ink
From a final battle won
I count all my scars
Painted in invisible ink
From all the lost wars
I count all my scars
Painted in invisible ink
From a final battle won
