SCARS

TRIGGERING











Some of the scars on my right wrist.







The place on my right Arm where I carved DAD














One of the places in my left arm where I carved the number 23.

SCARS - Papa Roach

[INTRO CHORUS]

I tear my heart open,

I sew myself shut

My weakness is that I care too much

My scars remind me that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

Drunk and I'm feeling down

and I just wanna be alone

I'm pissed cause you came around

Why don't you just go home

Cause you channeled all your pain

and I can't help you fix yourself

You're making me insane

All I can say is

[ACTUAL CHORUS]

I tear my heart open,

I sew myself shut

My weakness is that I care too much

Our scars remind us that the past is real

I tear my heart open just to feel

I tried to help you once

Against my own advice

I saw you goin' down

But you never realized

That your drowning in the water

So I offered you my hand

Compassion's in my nature

Tonight is our last stand

Chorus

I'm drunk and I'm feeling down

and I just wanna be alone

You shouldn't ever come around

Why don't you just go home?

Cause your drowning in the water

and I tried to grab your hand

and I left my heart open

but you didn't understandbut you didn't understand

GO. FIX. YOURSELF.

I can't help you fix yourself

But at least I can say I tried

I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

I can't help you fix yourself

But at least I can say I tried

I'm sorry but I gotta move on with my own life

Chorus x2

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHbNU9WuVgw The music video - I encourage you all to watch it. It's about a guy who is trying to help his alcoholic girlfriend.

The bolded part is one of the reasons I feel I need to keep my scars.

Storm

I used to be scared of storms

The thunder and lightning scared me
I just wanted to hide
But you always came and held me
I cried out when you carried me outside
I didnt understand how watching the storm
Was going to help me be less scared

Time after time
Storm after storm
You carried me outside
To watch the storm

Night after night
You carried me out
To watch the rain
Or the storm
And without fail
I fell asleep in your arms

Over the years
I became less scared
And I grew to like them

Everytime it rained or stormed
I knew where to find you
Out on the front porch
Because I was usually there too

It became our thing
Something we could love
Our fascination
Our bonding time

The smell of rain
So refreshing
And the lightning bolts
A sure wonder of nature
Striking without warning
Followed by the thunder
Shaking the house
Sure to wake
Any small child
From the soundest sleep

I don't understand why
People think storms are bad
Why people think storms are evil
Because I think they are amazing
Beautiful and fascinating
And I look forward to every storm

Every time a storm hits
You know where to find me
I'll be alone
But I'll be watching the rain
Like we used to do
