The present and the past

New marks old scares
sometimes it's hard to tell apart
yet i know both were caused
by the pain in my heart

I've felt so much pain
threw all of these 20 years
i think i may have made an ocean
with all of my fallen tears

all of the blood i have shed
every time i bled
i lied awake crying in bed
what was it all for?

...has anything changed
has anything even become more clear
i don't quite think so
since I'm still quietly alone here

lying here in the present
thinking of the past
that's no way to live
why can't it stay in the past
