BRYSSA: Hiding Scars

NOTHING CHANGES

I know you’re in there somewhere
In that maze of mystery
I’d like to join you there
If you’d only let me

Huddled in your hideaway
Praying for peace
You could stay inside that place
Or you could let me see

Ah, ah, ah

Your secret place where you hide your heart
Where you go to escape, I will find your scars
The private face of who you really are
However long it’s gonna take
I wanna know your secret place
Your secret place

Yes, there is safety there
But there’s also lonely
Drowning in your despair
Can’t hold on to holy

Ah, ah, ah

Your secret place where you hide your heart
Where you go to escape, I will find your scars
The private face of who you really are
However long it’s gonna take
I wanna know your secret place
Your secret place

I  …  I …
I will find you there

Your secret place where you hide your heart
Where you go to escape, I will find your scars
The private face of who you really are
However long it’s gonna take
I wanna know your secret place
Your secret place

SECRET PLACE

Ah, love’s a razor
Ah, love’s a wound
Ah, I’d be safer
Ah, in a tomb

There’s no pain
Just a clean slit down the vein

You’re killing me
I’m underneath
Those six-foot deep
secrets that you keep
I can’t believe
How cleverly, how easily
You’re killing me

Ah, you’re so lethal
Ah, deadly dose
Ah, you’re so evil
Ah, stole my hope

There’s no pain
Just a clean slit down the vein

You’re killing me
I’m underneath
Those six-foot deep
secrets that you keep
I can’t believe
How cleverly, how easily
You’re killing me

You know, you know you use love
You know you use love just to make me bleed
You know you abuse love
You abuse love like a felony

You’re killing me
I’m underneath
Those six-foot deep
secrets that you keep
I can’t believe
How cleverly, how easily
You’re killing me

You’re killing me
You’re killing me

YOU'RE KILLING ME

I’ll be stronger
than I seem
I’ll be braver
than you believe

I will see
where I can go
when I leave
my comfort zone
The time has come

I will rise up
I won’t stand down
I’ll be powerful
I’ll hold my ground
I’ll do me
Yeah, I’ll be me
And I will dare to be
my own dream

Already have
what it takes
I am light
I bend but never break

I will rise up
I won’t stand down
I’ll be powerful
I’ll hold my ground
I’ll do me
Yeah, I’ll be me
And I will dare to be
my own dream

Don’t judge me
I can be
silent as a grave
or loud as a storm
I can go either way

I will rise up
I won’t stand down
I’ll be powerful
I’ll hold my ground
I’ll do me
Yeah, I’ll be me
And I will dare to be
my own dream

MY OWN DREAM

You're a little like lightning
after a storm
You're a little bit frightening
I thought you were gone

You're back, you're wild
You're strange, you never change

You tease me
Need me
Breathe me
so I won't drown
You fly in
You're all in
til I try to
pin you
pin you down

I'll never
Will I ever
pin you down

You're a midnight craving
when I'm trying to sleep
You're the misbehaving
Don't want but I need

You're back, you're wild
You're strange, you never change

You tease me
Need me
Breathe me
so I won't drown
You fly in
You're all in
til I try to
pin you
pin you down

You are instructive
for the me that's self-destructive

You tease me
Need me
Breathe me
so I won't drown
You fly in
You're all in
til I try to
pin you
pin you down

You tease me
Need me
Breathe me
so I won't drown
You fly in
You're all in
til I try to
pin you
pin you down

I'll never
Will I ever
pin you down
