Decorate Your Scars (Commentary) Songtext
von Seeming

I don′t want you to jump
I want you to fly
When the crowd's closing in
Let them turn into wind
That′ll lift you to sky

I don't want you scream
I want you to sing
And when the sun will not burn
Hear it whisper, your turn
And your voice will go ringing into light
Where Heaven's been waiting for you to ignite

Go, go and decorate your scars, love
Let your tears become stars, love
They′ll wash away the night


In your diary you pray
Let the voices go still
But when you give them heed
Maybe hear what they need
Silently, they′re fulfilled
And to the mirror you say

I'm not at home in my skin
But we′ll paint 'round your eyes
On your neck and your thighs
′Til the outside begins to feel alright
A blanket to wrap 'round you warm and tight

Go, go and decorate your scars, love
Let your tears become stars, love
They′ll wash away the night

And every time the story ends
The pages cycle through again
For every step along the way
Another footprint's life begins
And here and there and now and then
The sound will echo a long amen
And every time the story ends
The pages cycle through again


I don't want you to push
I want you to move Earth
When you′re put on the spot
When you′re told all you're not
Then all that you′re worth comes into sight
Where absence is presence and black begets white

Go, go and decorate your scars, love
Let your tears become stars, love
They'll wash away the night

Go, go and decorate your scars, love
Let your tears become stars, love
They′ll wash away the night
