Scars Like Me

Do you have walls, and don't know how they appeared?
Do they stand tall
And you've marched around them for years and years?
Do you grasp for some kind of control?
Are you scared to death that if you let go, you're just gonna fall?
Do you have scars like me? At night when everyone is sleeping
Do you dream like me of a world where all your baggage doesn't
Cut so deep? Were you different before you knew what else you were
Behind those scars like me?
Is it hard to look back and feel that fear?
Do you want to go back and tell you
That you didn't waste a single tear?
Were you so scared to lose the few sacred things you had?
Like an hourglass you felt the sand start
Slipping right through your hands?
Do you have scars like me? At night when everyone is sleeping
Do you dream like me of a world where all your baggage doesn't
Cut so deep? Were you different before you knew what else you were
Behind those scars like me?
And its hard to even fathom what else I could be
When the damage that's behind me is all I can see
Do you long to just move ahead, beyond your past
Beyond those scars like me?
Do you wish you knew the things that you know now?
That you would find a kind of freedom as the walls come down?
Do you know that those tears can now wash you clean?
Rinse away all the sand to find those scars like me
Do you have scars like me?
Like a map of all the battles that you didn't leave
Like a marking to commemorate the victories
Like the proof you are stronger than you were before
You had those scars like me
