Bruises

These bruises are only skin deep to you
Out of sight out of mind, ya think?
These bruises are steep
Those hands can be so horribly unkind

Scars of a time of release
Helped me forget the pain I keep
Such a distortion of belief

Are you trying to crack these bones?
Is there something you seek?
This is your solution to fix me
Hate is more then skin deep

These bruises run straight through
Dissolved on the surface
They still come back when I see you

It’s not my fault, you made your mark
You made this permanent
Knew exactly what you were doing
My skin is connected to my heart
