Red Scars

In the alleys where you hide,

Lost in thoughts that won't subside

This town's grip drags you low

Chews you up and spits out your soul

Down you fall to the ground

When you cry out no one's around

Downward spiral no one hears

Those cries unheard soaked in fear

The lies keep coming from the has been

Don’t fall for what he’s offering

The future’s lost drowned in sorrows

cheers to pain no hope for tomorrow

Fake faces lives disposable

You're their scorn they're indisputable

All your efforts a futile cry

Their deceitful words your endless why

The cycle spins running in place

Time's march doesn’t have to seal our fate

agony each breath a new weight

the world’s retreat opens the gate

The lies keep coming from the has been

Don’t fall for what he’s offering

The future’s lost drowned in sorrows

cheers to pain no hope for tomorrow

Fight as you may the battle's lost

No redemption just a bitter cost

Fuel the fire give into spite

Hatred's embrace the easy invite

Seek another path attempt to sway

But deaf ears turn away

Farewell as you fade and bend

I'm not a part of it see you at the end

The lies keep coming from the has been

Don’t fall for what he’s offering

The future’s lost drowned in sorrows

cheers to pain no hope for tomorrow
