Scars Lyrics

I've stood upon my mountaintop
And shouted at the sky
Walked above the pavement
With my senses amplified


All my nerves are naked wires
Tender to the touch
Sometimes super-sensitive
But who can care too much?
I GET THESE FEELINGS

Scars of pleasure
Scars of pain
Atmospheric changes
Make them sensitive again

Each emotional injury
Leaves behind its mark
Sometimes they come tumbling out
Like shadows in the dark


When I think about all I have seen
And all I'll never see
When I think about the people
Who have opened up to me


Snow falls deep around my house
And holds the winter light
I've heard the lions hunting
In the Serengeti night


Forests turned to factories
And river, sea, and sky
Hungry child in the desert
And the flies that cloud her eyes


Pleasure leaves a fingerprint
As surely as mortal pain
In memories they resonate
And echo back again
