Scarred For Life Lyrics - Steel Prophet

Born into this life 

A child in a world full of doubt 

Rejected as an orphan boy 

Torn from his mother's side 

Dogmas were thrown in his way 

Obstacles from which to pass 

The pain his soul endured 

Has scarred his body fast 

Defiant in an angry heart 

Stubborn in his ways 

Determined to reach his goals 

Though numbered are his days 

Lost within his mind 

Emotionally disturbed 

Abused throughout childhood 

Wounded deeply beyond words 

Submerged in hate and fear 

Neglected by all around 

Affliction was all we had 

Lost and never found 

But then something snapped within 

And turned him inside out 

To survive, his life had to change 

And mend his wounds somehow 

Rebellion against authority 

To conform, he would never submit 

Punished by society 

Upon their face he'd spit 

Scarred for life 

Wounded deep within 

Healing this bludgeoned soul 

Must somehow begin 

Often cry out in the night 

Twisted into delusion 

Crawling into the light 

Scarred for life, scarred for life 

Scarred for life 

Locked within his mind 

A solitary prison cell 

Depression fills him with despair 

Falling to the depths of hell 

Alone in a silent rage 

The final hours near 

Desperate in his insanity 

He cries out but no one hears 

Anger consumed his soul 

In a violent state of mind 

Destroying his every thought 

Soon running out of time 

Lies, he soon believed 

From voices in his head 

Confused in chaos hour 

Wishing he was dead 

Torn into this life 

A child in disarray 

Blasphemed upon his soul 

A victim of his ways 

Scarred for life, scarred for life
