Scars
Suicide Machines Lyrics

Lately things they do not feel the same
Recent events have changed how we feel about life

What we'll become full of hatred full of shame
If we don't change our ways, we'll become bitter and ashamed

Once was a face now is only just a name
We've lost too many friends to remember their faces

The gift of life that we were treating like a game then
We didn't appreciate the value of life and treated it like a game

Something else dies inside me stripped away by another act of violence
Each act of violence takes away a piece of our humanity

Don't try to look cause you won't find me when I'm not there
The pain of violence causes us to withdraw from the world

And the scars that we wear - They will never go away
The emotional scars of violence will remain with us forever

And the friends that we lose - The can never be replaced
The loss of friends is a pain that can never be healed

Tell me what its going to take - And how many have to die
We need to take action to stop the cycle of violence

Till we put away our hate - And we open up our eyes
We need to overcome hate and see the value in every human life

Sixteen years old when I lost my first friend
The pain of losing a friend started at a young age

I tried to teach a broken heart how to bend
We try to help each other heal from the pain of loss

Twenty four and it happened yet again
The pain of loss continued to haunt us even as we got older

More broken hearts is it ever going to end- cause...
The cycle of violence and loss seems endless

God damn this feeling don't want to feel this again
The pain of loss is overwhelming and unbearable

My heart is bleeding your hate has taken my friend
The hate and violence of others has caused us to lose people we care about

Twenty two passed away before his time
We've lost too many people too soon

Too quick to use our fists instead of our minds
We need to find better ways to resolve conflicts without resorting to violence

So Concerned with what's yours and what is mine
Our selfishness and greed have blinded us to the value of human life

Well maybe we can learn to love this time- cause...
There's still hope for us to overcome hate and learn to love each other

If something else dies inside me - I'll run away yeah
The pain of loss and violence can make us want to retreat from the world

You're never going to find me - The things I see always remind me - Of how unfair everything is
The world can seem unfair and cruel when we're consumed by pain and loss

Until we open up our eyes - Until we open up our eyes - Until we open up our eyes
We need to be aware of the pain and suffering of others and take action to prevent it

Tell me what it's going to take - And how many have to die
We need to confront the reality of violence and loss to find a way to end it
