Scars Stay

[Verse] Pain rolls in like a storm on the sea Crashing hard it don't ask it don't plea It fades it ebbs but it leaves its mark In the daylight or the deep of the dark [Chorus] Pain it comes pain it goes Like a fire it burns then slows But the scars oh the scars they stay Carved in skin like night to day [Verse 2] Thunder echoes but the rain runs dry Leaves the ground cracked under the sky You heal you breathe but you don’t forget What’s buried deep it lingers yet [Chorus] Pain it comes pain it goes Like a fire it burns then slows But the scars oh the scars they stay Carved in skin like night to day [Bridge] The brass it screams like the ache in my chest The drums they pound never giving me rest The bounce it hides the weight of the truth Pain’s a thief stealing time and youth [Verse 3] Bruises fade but the soul stays torn A tattered flag in the eye of the storm You smile you laugh but inside you know The wounds may close but they never go
