Scars

Lately things they do not feel the same
What we've become, full of hatred full of shame
Once was a face now is only just a name
The gift of life that we were treating like a game then
Something else dies inside me
Stripped away by another act of violence
Don't try to look cause you won't find me
When I'm not there
And the scars that we wear, they will never go away
And the friends that we lose, they can never be replaced
Tell me what its going to take and how many have to die
Before we put away our hate and we open up our eyes
Sixteen years old when I lost my first friend
I tried to teach a broken heart how to bend
Twenty-four and it happened yet again
More broken hearts, is it ever going to end cause
Something else dies inside me
Stripped away by another act of violence
Don't try to look cause you won't find me
When I'm not there
And the scars that we wear, they will never go away
And the friends that we lose, they can never be replaced
Tell me what its going to take and how many have to die
Before we put away our hate and we open up our eyes
God damn this feeling, don't want to feel this again
My heart is bleeding, and your hate has taken my friend
Twenty-two, passed away before his time
Too quick to use our fists instead of our minds
So concerned with whats yours and what is mine
Well maybe we can learn to love this time cause
If something else dies inside me
I'll run away yeah
You're never going to find me
The things I see always remind of of how unfair it is
And the scars that we wear, they will never go away
And the friends that we lose, they can never be replaced
Tell me whats it going to take and how many have to die
Till we put away our hate and we open up our eyes
Until we open up our eyes, until we open up our eyes, until we open up our eyes
Tell me whats it going to take and how many have to die
