Bruises and scars
long roads that will take you far
the sound of your wheels
the sound of my heartbeat
as kids we'd play along
sticker tattoos of black and gold
silly jokes and odd fears
as hollow as your dreams
we grew older
knowing what the future would lead us through
you broke your heart and your bones
2 years past but it pains you more
if only you'd let her in
you would not hear her scream
you would not see the light
you would not see the light

if only you'd let her in
you would not hear her scream
you would not see the light
you would not see the light
