Cicatrices

I thought that time and decay
Would lead us to love each other, but no
I thought that time and decay
Would lead us to love each other, but no
It never happened, it just wouldn’t go
Our decay
For the soul and the bodies
That kept walking together
Like paper ghosts
Recounted, pieced together
Repeated and painted
So much repetition

I dreamed and I was wrong, time wore us down
Childhood and innocence stole from us
I dreamed and I was wrong, time wore us down
Childhood and innocence stole from us
Decay came later like a liquor
That we drank, drunk on rage
Then I understood that if I wanted
It was like a fairy tale
It rubbed its absence in my face and slipped away
Love always slipped away
It rubbed its absence in my face and slipped away
Love always slipped away
And now there’s not even skin, nor love, nor soul
It’s just a huge, shameless scar
And now there’s not even skin, nor love, nor soul
It’s just a huge, shameless scar
Scars, scars
