The Scars Begin To Form (Thank You)

god gives us scars to remember what we've done forever have my eyes bled tears and always have i cried alone and everytime i ran away your open arms i called home who could have thought that your wrists would beed for me the nails hit their targets opening eternity i have fallen on the ground and it is far to comforting raise me up, oh lord this life of mine's distorting i have new twisted views or maybe their all lies i tell myself to comfort me as my spirit dies i've tried to hold myself but i cannot seem to match the glorious comfort of your unfailing grasp i died before i knew you and im killing me again you died for me once too but it did not end you gave me chances left and right you told me 'its okay..." everytime i faulter you love me anyway you never shut your eyes on me as i kept my blood running the thought of you upon a cross could never seem so stunning but knowing that it saved this world for eternal damnation is hard for me to fathom that painful sensation you killed yourself so i could live me, a worthless no one in this world but you saw me more as that of a tiny little pearl i see myself in this mirror and cry at what i see: a person knowing what he's done should cost him right to be but you break these mirrors everytime they blind me and somehow manage to smile and set the past behind thee you love me more than me more than i could love you i love you lord with all i am but that surly will not do i cry at night for your hand it always comes around and when im lost in this world i always end up found and as my blood finally dries and the scars begin to form you turn to me and tell me that you'll love me forevermore
