Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Late night in your hallway Peeling paint and quiet fights You said “Tell me what you’re hiding” I said “I don’t have the time” But my hands were shaking Like they knew I lied [Pre-Chorus] Every step you took toward me Made the air turn thin I could taste the future I could feel you give in [Chorus] These scars You trace them like a map to where I’ve been Slow drag Every faded mark pulls you deeper in You say my damage looks like art You kiss the edges of my heart You fall in love With all my scars (all my scars) [Verse 2] You read my broken stories On the back of my arms Names I tried to bury Ghosts asleep in ink and marks You said “Pain can still be holy” If it brought you this far [Pre-Chorus] You breathe on every fracture Like a secret spell You make my shame look softer You make my curses melt [Chorus] These scars You trace them like a map to where I’ve been Slow drag Every faded mark pulls you deeper in You say my damage looks like art You kiss the edges of my heart You fall in love With all my scars (all my scars, oh) [Bridge] I’m afraid you’ll see the worst Turn away and leave me first But your hands don’t even shake You just say my name Again Again [Chorus] These scars You trace them like a map to where I’ve been Slow drag Every broken line pulls you back again You say my damage looks like art You wear the pieces of my heart You fall in love With all my scars (all my scars, all my scars) [Outro] Stay In the dark with me Till the marks all sing Till the hurt turns sweet (Scars)

Slow, relentless build: strings and airy choirs rise into a cinematic, seductive drop on the chorus. Final chorus swells with harmonies, toms, and reverb-drenched guitar, then decays into a bare vocal and fading pad., art pop, ballad, dream pop
