scars
i want to be there when my star falls
i want to feel your wave break on my shore
don't back down because i want you around
as you are, with scars
am i the only one in your web?
this open cage that you are spinning
in the flow and the ebb
of mother moon and her twisted grin
don't back down 'cause i want you around
as you are, with scars
it's better to bleed than explode
you share your highs, so share your lows
all of this time painting with the wrong colours
now between you and i they're blending into one another
with your pocketful of pastels and my bucketful of paints
we'll go about drawing out the sinners and the saints
that populate your moonlit landscape
the many characters of your self portrait
the young and old people in silver and gold
the warm and cold words in italics and bold
i want to peel back your layers
