They Become Directions

[Verse 1] This morning The shower caught my shoulder Found the place I stopped checking The towel snagged On skin that isn't broken Just raised enough To remember [Verse 2] Funny thing The body Never throws anything away Every cut Learns a quieter language Every bruise Moves further inland [Pre] I kept waiting To wake up As someone else Instead I woke up As someone Who stayed [Chorus] The scar Didn't disappear It just stopped Introducing itself Now it only speaks When rain arrives Or someone Touches it Without knowing [Verse 3] Found an old shirt Still carrying The shape Of the person Who used to wear it It fits now Different Not better [Bridge] People think Healing Means forgetting But the sea Never gives the cliffs Their stone back [Final Chorus] The scar Stayed exactly Where I left it I was the thing That kept moving [Outro] Some wounds Don't close They become Directions.
