Scarred Lyrics - Awake - Dream Theater

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 rape 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 

Photos 

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
