Shimmering Scars Lyrics


The coldest summer
You withdrew further
And gave a little less
You took the Sun away
You say you’re with me
Then ghost right through me
I’ll never understand how it slipped away

All I ever dreamed of
Has fled to the stars
And hides in the dark
Everyone I reached for
They tear me apart
Encoding my heart
With shimmering scars

Stonewall silence
I beg for guidance
But every vow we made
Unravelled through the pain
And if you say it’s nothing
Then why are your eyes still flooding?
We stamped the embers out
I carried half the blame

All I ever dreamed of
Has fled to the stars
And hides in the dark
Everyone I reached for
They tear me apart
Encoding my heart
With shimmering scars

Was I not enough?
Was I not enough?
What still remains?
I don’t wanna break
Was I not enough?
Was I not enough?
I can’t start again
And carry half the blame
I carry half the blame

All I ever dreamed of
Has fled to the stars
And hides in the dark
Everyone I reached for
They tear me apart
Encoding my heart
With shimmering scars

I can’t start again
