Scars & Chains

I wish I could erase all the scars
that you've sustained from this pain
you really don’t deserve to be
locked down by these chains

I know that nobody's perfect
and yes they make mistakes
therefore you shouldn’t have to
put up with this constant heartache

You said you wanna embrace Death’s touch
that’s nonsense you’re making my heart crush
baby don’t cry lean on my shoulder just hush
don't worry I'll protect you from death's clutch

You’re not a waste of space
just look to God to find your place
don’t give in keep up the chase
you’re almost finished with this race

Use your mind as your guide
and your heart as your map
make sure that you try
to keep in frequent contact

Listen to the signals
that they send to your brain
because for you it can open up
a brand new door of change

Use every single clue
that suspects the truth
work hard so that this mystery
you can finally conclude

If it’s not what you expected
don't let it ruin your mood
don't let it eat you alive like
your soul is a piece of food

If you let it then eventually
it will strip you nude
of your dignity and integrity
getting the best of you

They can chase you all they want but
they’re never gonna catch you
‘cause you're too quick for them
giving up is all they can do

You're their worst nightmare
they don't wanna screw you over
if they do they’re gonna either
need a prayer or a four leaf clover

Whatever the response
don’t hide it just let it prevail
nobody can pawn you
because you’re not for sale

You shouldn't feel dumb
because you’re smarter than you look
if only people would read the words
across the pages in the book
