Battle Scars

Woke up today
Can't say that I wanted to
I'd rather not face myself
And the mess that I've become

Cause I'm tired
Worn to the bone
And I'm sick of being alive
When I feel so dead inside

Chorus:
My heart is poisoned with grief
Spreading throughout my veins
And slowly killing me
I'm paralyzed by pain
And I can't even scream
And I've tried to bleed it out
I've tried
But now I'm drained of all life
I need revival
I need revival

I'm falling apart
I won't try denying so
Help me Lord to my feet
Pick me up off the floor
Please remind me
Who you are
And who am supposed to be
Won't you wake the dead in me?

Chorus:
My heart is poisoned with grief
Spreading throughout my veins
And slowly killing me
I'm paralyzed by pain
And I can't even scream
And I've tried to bleed it out
I've tried
But now I'm drained of all life
I need revival
I need revival

chorus:
My heart was poisoned with grief
Spreading throughout my veins
And slowly killing me
Was paralyzed by pain
And couldn't even scream
And I tried to bleed it out
I tried
And I was drained of all life
Then came revival
Then came revival

Finally the wounds have scarred
And I won't forget where they came from
I won't be ashamed of the story they tell
They tell of all you've healed me from
And all we've overcome
These battle scars they scream, 'We've won!'
'We've won.'

well, to be frank, I used to be a cutter, and this is essentially how I felt at the time.
