Scarred (Live From The Boston Opera House)-Dream Theater

Dream Theater - Scarred (LP Version) To rise, to fall, to hurt, to hate To want, to wait, to heal, to save Can't hear it, we fear it Awareness won't come near it Distractive, reactive Disguised in spite of time I never bared my emotion My passion always strong I never lost my devotion But somewhere fate went wrong Can't let them R**e me again Your venom's not family here Won't let them fill me with Fatalistic remedies What if the rest of the world Was hopelessly blinded by fear? Where would my sanctity live? Suddenly nobody cares It's never enough, you're wasting your time Isn't there something I could say? You don't understand, you're closing me out How can we live our lives this way? You tell me I'm wrong, I'm risking my life Still, I have nothing in return I show you my hands, you don't see the scars Maybe you'll leave me here to burn What if the rest of the world Was hopelessly drowning in vain? Where would our self pity run? Suddenly everyone cares. Blood heal me, fear change me Belief will always save me Blood swearing, fear staring Conviction made aware Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret Do you feel you don't know me anymore? And do you feel I'm afraid of your love? And how come you don't want me asking? And how come my heart's not invited? You say you want everyone happy, well, we're not laughing And how come you don't understand me? And how come I don't understand you? Thirty years say we're in this together, so open your eyes People in prayer for me, everyone there for me Sometimes I feel I should face this alone My soul exposed, it calms me to know that I won't Blood heal me, fear change me Belief will always save me Blood swearing, fear staring Conviction made aware Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret Blood heal me, fear change me Belief will always save me Blood swearing, fear staring Conviction made aware Learning from misery Staring back at dissent Leaving distrust behind I'm inspired and content
