You Are the Scars

Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness

It took me years to understand that this too, was a gift

It took me years to realize you teared my heart through fordable mires

But I wasn't made for shallow waters, my heart is an ocean

And I think that's where I am right now, floating, drifting away

Too weak to continue swimming, yet not weak enough to give up and sink

Leastwise I know now, that salty waters might cure everything

Shedding tears or to walk into the sea

Did you know, if you hold your breath all too long

You will finally sleep forever

Did you know that I never forgive my self

For what we've become?

How odd I can have all of this inside me

And to you it's just words, another letter

But what is loss? What is wealth?

I am nothing, we are nothing

I am the mourning

You are the scars

I am the night

Color me black

I am the mourning

You are the scars

I am the night

Color me black

There is a place in my heart that will never be filled

And even during the best and the greatest times

I will know it, more than ever

I will know it, more than ever

In another night, in another world

Things could have been so different

In another night, in another world

Things would have been so different

I am the mourning

You are the scars

I am the night

Color me black

I am the mourning

You are the scars

I am the night

Color me black

Color me black
