Two Girls, One Scar

[Verse 1]
She wakes up in a stranger’s shirt
Lipstick on that isn’t hers
Phone full of numbers
She swears she’s never heard
Ashtray halo on the floor
Polaroids pinned to the door
Her face in every photo
But her eyes don’t match the girl before
[Pre-Chorus]
She says
“Who did this?”
Mirror doesn’t answer
Just two shadows
Dancing in the fracture
[Chorus]
Two girls
One scar
Same body
Different war
One takes the hit
The other keeps score
Blackout heart
Can’t remember where we are
She keeps falling for the same bad man
He keeps calling and she hits “accept” again
Two girls
One scar
[Verse 2]
Good girl’s making color-coded plans
Wild girl’s kissing every red flag hand
Therapist nodding
Says “you’re stronger than you think”
She laughs till her mascara
Runs right into the sink
There’s a saint on her wrist
And a sinner on her neck
She prays for a future
While she dials another wreck
[Pre-Chorus]
She says
“Who hurt us?”
Voice cracks like a lighter
Whole damn past
Going up in fire
[Chorus]
Two girls
One scar
Same body
Different war
One locks the door
The other’s on the floor
Blackout heart
Can’t remember where we are
She keeps falling for the same bad man
He keeps breaking what he doesn’t understand
Two girls
One scar
[Bridge]
[Band drops to half-time
Vocal close and raw]
She carves out
Whole months from her mind
Hides the knives
Then hands him the shine
Says “this time
I’ll see the signs”
Then disappears
When the fists start to rhyme (oh)
[Chorus]
Two girls
One scar
Same body
Different war
One takes the blame
The other takes more
Blackout heart
Can’t remember where we are
She keeps falling for the same bad man
But tonight they’re standing
Middle finger in his hand
Two girls
One scar
Two girls
One scar
Same body
Different war

rock, Crunchy alt-rock band energy with female vocals, jagged guitars, and a push-pull groove. Verses stay tense and palm-muted, bass circling like a bad thought; pre-chorus lifts with tom rolls and climbing chords; chorus explodes with wide power chords and stacked harmonies. Bridge drops to half-time with a distorted, echoing lead line then slams back into the final hook.
