Scars
Monkey Trick Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This here's a story about life
Mary grew up close to her mom, her mom died
Mary turned to drugs when she was 16,
She had an addictive personality
With time, life turned darker and darker...

She met Dave when she was 18
He was using her for her body
She told him about their pregnancy...
Dave quickly left them absentee
With time, life turned harder and harder...

At night, she'd cry..
Wondering why...
Life...was so hard.
A voice whispered....
"Please heal her scars"...

Mary turned 19, she had her baby
It pushed a swift change in personality
Mary got a job working 7 to 5
She put in hours to buy them time
With time, life grew clearer and clearer...

At night, she'd cry...

Wondering why...
Life...was so hard.
A voice whispered...
"Please heal her scars".

By the time Mary turned 40,
She was happily married
To a man who believed in the word family
They gave their children everything...
With time, life grew easier and easier...

At night, she'd cry...
Wondering why...
Life was so hard...
For those who could not heal their scars.
At night, she lie...
Wondering why...
Life could be so hard...

Whispering... Whispering... Whispering...





"Please,.. please heal,... please heal... their scars, their scars."
