A Boy Covered In Invisible Scars

Times our bodies were cold The cigarette scars on your hand We were still tugging the other to our own wishes Our stubbornness getting in our way They told me to stay away from you Clear unacceptance in their eyes I just wanted them to accept you, To love you like I do And what's more, I only wanted to be with you My hands were tied in autumn A full revolve around the sun I didn't know what to do Fear was upon me, and I fleed I ran, and ran, and ran Never once thinking of my own faults or demise But darling, aren't we all just running in our own Small worlds? And I set the wolves upon you I was the unintentional shard of glass that Caused you to bleed But we both held on to our stubbornness Like knives behind our backs Holding crossed fingers in the other hand You pulled me into an abyss I didn't know where to set my foot on I kept falling, falling and falling You can't have expected me to stay And I didn't think that I ended up leaving too That I fell for someone Covered in dreams and fantasy Trying to stay alive in reality A boy covered in invisible scars That only lit up in the dark A boy who only howls under the moon Head in his hands, the shores at the sea Searching what the lighthouse leads him to For a home to stay in Hang up the traveller's cloak And finally have a good night's sleep
