Scarred for Life
BECKY BOND, DAVID JOHN BATEMAN
The face wasn't familiar
Unlike his introduction
What should have been an act of love
Becomes an act of destruction
Shame will never heal you
There's nowhere left to hide
Scarred for life, scarred for life
Wither away little victim
Victim of the night
Scarred for life, scarred for life
Something always brings it back
That unprovoked attack
A face contoured too obscene
Left you shivering and unclean
There's always someone behind
That someone's only in your mind
Now repulsed by every touch
Someone hurt you far too much
Words so sweet leave you unmoved
No caress could ever soothe
Add on self-mutilation
To the brutal violation
