These Scars Are Reminders of You

[Verse]
Shadows creep through my veins tonight
The mirror cracks with the weight of fright
Your ghost lingers whispers low
A haunting I can't let go
[Verse 2]
Chains of silence tighten my throat
Every word I swallowed every note
Bloodstains on the walls of my mind
Memories sharp jagged unkind
[Chorus]
These scars are reminders of you
Carved deep and black where light won’t break through
A hymn of pain sung in muted cries
A requiem for the truth that dies
[Verse 3]
Eyes like daggers they pierce my dreams
Echoes of your voice in my screams
The darkened sky your cruel design
Left me drowning in endless time
[Bridge]
Steel and fire the weight of despair
A twisted love we could never repair
Still I reach for the ashes that fade
Cursing the shadow your memory made
[Chorus]
These scars are reminders of you
Carved deep and black where light won’t break through
A hymn of pain sung in muted cries
A requiem for the truth that dies
