Time Does Not Heal Lyrics - Singles - Dark Angel

It's always darkest before it goes 

Completely black 

I'm older now so I should know 

You never can look back 

But the scars of childhood memories 

Dominate my head 

The inner pain I've vowed to keep 

Until the day I'm dead 

You can't see, the life I was forced to lead 

What it's like to die daily 

You can't feel, the thoughts I've learned to steal 

Survival is my reality 

When I was young I lived in fear 

The hands of doom forever drawing near 

I wonder how I learned to persevere 

As time advanced deceit was my life's truth 

Spurred on by the peace I never knew 

Time does not heal 

The scars that burned me in my youth 

Time does not heal 

The pain that carved in me the truth 

Time does not heal 

The torture struck upon my past 

Time does not heal 

The scars that were left and meant to last 

Over the many years I've tried 

To bury deep my past 

Attempting to cope with what's inside 

My wastelands of regret 

But defeated before I began 

To join the human race 

Indelibly I've felt the brand 

Of scars I can't erase 

I was the fool, subversive and overrulled 

Into my abyss I was pulled 

The ways of hate, constantly agitate 

The scars as they'd eviscerate 

Inside my head desolation forms 

Shadows grasping my mind through its storm 

I couldn't see that I was being forewarned 

That anguish was to take my life's controls 

And rake it's wounds forever into my soul 

Time does not heal 

The scars that burned me in my youth 

Time does not heal 

The pain that carved in me the truth 

Time does not heal 

The torture struck upon my past 

Time does not heal 

The scars that were left and meant to last 

I have learned to live alone, it's meant to be 

Endless lies and emptiness fulfilling me 

Life's there to decieve the truth you'll never see 

Understand that I am dying to be free 

Images have haunted me since I was young 

Chilling were the arms of fear I was among 

What were once just nightmares now have since become 

Real atrocities which I can't escape from... 

It's always darkest before it goes 

Completely black 

I've realized now that it's impossible 

Surviving their attack 

Through duress I'm borne, a past that's brought me scorn 

And when I'm dead, will I be mourned? 

The scars I've worn, the mental flesh I've shredded and torn 

Time does not heal 

The scars that burned me in my youth 

Time does not heal 

The pain that carved in me the truth 

Time does not heal 

The torture struck upon my past 

Time does not heal 

The scars that were left and meant to last
