Kate Austin - Scar Tissue

blackened dreams and sorry hearts
murdered doves that are falling apart

thoughts swirl in their lying eyes
splintered hopes and family ties

scar tissue builds up and suffocates
there's not a shred left of what once was grace

lakes of black and oceans of red
the second is blood; the first is dread

being angry is easy but happy is hard
there's live trees in the ground but dead leaves in the yard

your good intentions were edged with glass
time will heal but time doesn't pass.

people suffer and people die
a limb for a limb like an eye for an eye

no one is real and everyone is fake
God can give and God can take

i collect dust and grime along the way
hoping for a break from this pain someday
