Scars & Stitches

Guster

Can you remember

What the future held

A little candy ring

In a mystic ocean's shell



They were anesthetized

Slowly washed away

Left all the poison in

The sands in which I played



I don't mind falling down

And scraping up my knees

Scars and stitches always fade

And only strengthen me

With my eyes as wide as pearls

My only centerpiece

Is taken like the dead man's urn

And tossed into the sea



Write me a letter

And dot your i's and cross your t's

Nothing was everything to me



Under the monster's claws

And in between his teeth

Was the shadow and a silhouette

Of what I thought I'd be



I don't mind falling down

And scraping up my knees

Scars and stitches always fade

And only strengthen me

But with my eyes as wide as pearls

My only centerpiece

Is floating on the ocean's bed

And floats there endlessly

Well it's taken like the dead man's urn

And tossed into the sea
