On Abuse.

He’s the only one who sees
The scar that no one else can see
A secret that I hold so close
A hidden place inside myself

The scar that no one else can see
Wakes me from my pleasant dreams
A hidden place inside myself
A place of my Gethsemane

It wakes me from my pleasant dreams
The face that haunts my memories
A place of my Gethsemane
Where I am torn and used and broken

The face that haunts my memories
A secret that I hold so close
Where I am torn and used and broken
And He’s the only one who sees
The scar that no one else can see
