"The seed never sees the flower. It grows knowing it must become more than what it was. It changes because, in growth, all of its potential can be unlocked." - Shane Koyczan


Your fingerprints cover skin

I have soaked up all your sin

Woke up on the floor again

Can't remember where it began

 

Mister sleep eludes me still 

I can't find to defend my will

My head is void of wondrous dreams

Escape is what sees the sunbeams.

 

Humility is all I know

And yet you say there is more to show

You say you'll teach me how to cope

You are the reason I don't dare to hope.

 

Upon my skin, I wear your anger

Upon my head, a crown of danger

With the promise of tomorrow

Your forgiveness I seek to borrow.

 

And still, though time has changed me

Your mistakes are all I see

People close and people far

Fear the girl with the invisible scar.
