about

A song about self harm

lyrics

Silver Scars

The wounds on my skin are just mirroring
Mirroring
The wounds on my soul that no one can see
As long as I keep the pain flowing in
I have an anchor
Something that’s real

Scars cross my skin in a pattern, tracing them, reading them, like books on a shelf
Each tells a story, each one is different, the memory treasured despite itself

They take me away from my pain
To somewhere safe and somewhere alone
If I follow the lines I know I will find my way home

Most have faded away into nothing, I can still see them clearly as on the first day
Silvery lifelines hold me together, mark me forever – a small price to pay

The scars on my skin are just mirroring
Mirroring
The wounds on my soul that turned to fading scars
As long as I can remember them
They still are my anchor
My guiding stars
