Scarred - Live at Bank of America Pavilion, Boston, MA, 8/21/2007

To rise, to fall
 To hurt, to hate
 To want, to wait
 To heal, to save
 Can't hear it, we fear it
 Awareness won't come near it
 Distractive, reactive
 Disguised in spite of time
 I never bared my emotion
 My passion always strong
 I never lost my devotion
 But somewhere fate went wrong
 Can't let them rape me again
 Your venom's not family here
 Won't let them fill me with
 Fatalistic remedies
 What if the rest of the world
 Was hopelessly blinded by fear?
 Where would my sanctity live?
 Suddenly nobody cares
 It's never enough
 You're wasting your time
 Isn't there something I could say?
 You don't understand
 You're closing me out
 How can we live our lives this way?
 You tell me I'm wrong
 I'm risking my life
 Still, I have nothing in return
 I show you my hands
 You don't see the scars
 Maybe you'll leave me here to burn
 What if the rest of the world
 Was hopelessly drowning in vain?
 Where would our self pity run?
 Suddenly everyone cares
 Blood heal me
 Fear change me
 Belief will always save me
 Blood swearing
 Fear staring
 Conviction made aware
 Give up on misery
 Turn your back on dissent
 Leave their distrust behind
 Wash your hands of regret
 Do you feel you don't know me anymore?
 And do you feel I'm afraid of your love?
 And how come you don't want me asking?
 And how come my heart's not invited?
 You say you want everyone happy
 Well, we're not laughing
 And how come you don't understand me?
 And how come I don't understand you?
 Thirty years say we're in this together
 So open your eyes
 People in prayer for me
 Everyone there for me
 Sometimes I feel I should face this alone
 My soul exposed
 It calms me to know that I won't
 Blood heal me
 Fear change me
 Belief will always save me
 Blood swearing
 Fear staring
 Conviction made aware
 Give up on misery
 Turn your back on dissent
 Leave their distrust behind
 Wash your hands of regret
