I stare into my ceiling
The dark of the unknown
I’m tearing at the sutures
That kept all my scars whole
And though they’ve finished healing
I tear them back again
And I stare into my ceiling
I close my eyes to rest
But the war that carries on
So loudly in my head
Wakes me from my dreaming
So I lie awake in bed
The scars that finished healing
Are torn open again
But soon the daylight comes
Peeking through the blinds
Slowly I wake up
To finally realize
That nothing stays the same
No, nothing touched by time
It all goes away
An awful curse of life
So I lie awake
Staring at the door
Hoping for a chance
That you might return
But that door never opened
And I left my scars alone
And when I close my eyes
I don’t see you anymore
And when I close my eyes
I don’t see you anymore
