[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I’m on my own, there’s nothing new Then suddenly the world turns blue An evil thought drops by to play To rip the scab off yesterday [Verse 2] A toxic moment from the past It hits me hard and hits me fast It pins me flat against the wall And makes me feel so bloody small [Chorus] The aching scars are not a choice They’re just a loud, unwelcome noise It’s just the way the mind is built To keep us tethered to our guilt [Verse 3] The moment goes, the questions stay Why does it feel like yesterday? It’s been so long since I was there How much is left for me to bear? [Solo Instrumental] [Bridge] I’m wasting time on what is gone The only one still holding on I need a spine of solid steel To put a check on what I feel [Chorus] The aching scars are not a choice They’re just a loud, unwelcome noise It’s just the way the mind is built To keep us tethered to our guilt [Outro] The edge is mine for me to choose How much of me I let it bruise I’ll say the words and let it be: "It’s over now, and I am free" [Instrumental Ending] [End]
