: everyone falls.

Underneath the clothes we're wearing
Scars we all carry; some that don't fade.
And they read just like a roadmap.
Time cuts a deep track through skin and vein.

But you know everyone falls sometimes; don't they all?
You know bridges get burned sometimes as we cross.
Don't we all fall?

I've been faking it for so long;
Trying to hold on trying to get by.
It's just so hard getting over the going under
Time after time.

Time calls your name and we're not the same.
Time calls your name and we're all afraid.
Time calls your name and we're not the same.



...in the midst of the night, one of the thoughts that comes to me is if everybody is going thru some sort of crisis; in other words, falling fast to rock bottom. we as individuals often get so wrapped up in our own problems, that i feel sometimes we [i am speaking for everyone] forget that there are other people around us who are fighting a harder battle. "scars we all carry; some that don't fade" really pops out to me; everybody has scars. whether it's internally or externally, we all have them and i happen to believe that they never never never ever go away. no matter how hard you try to get those scars to go away, they don't go away. they might heal, but there will always be that one part of you that is scarred from something that hurt you in the past or present. when somebody says to me "he hurt you; you are scarred, did the scar go away?" i always have the same answer "i am healed. but the scar will always be there; to remind me of what i went thru, and to remind me to never put myself in that hurtful situation again". scars are good, scars show that you are healed; i happen to think that if there is no scar, you were never healed. scars; are part of the healing process; but never say that the memory is gone; yes it can be in the past, and "forgotten" but deep down inside, like a core of an apple, there is a scar, that never goes away.
