Scars and Stitches

Guster

Can you remember what the future held
A little candy ring and a mystic ocean's shell
But they were anesthetized and slowly washed away
And left all the poison in the sand in which I played

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 taken like a dead man's urn
And tossed into the sea

Write me a letter
But dot your i's and cross your t's
Nothing was everything to me
Under the monster's claw and in between his teeth
Was a 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
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 a dead man's urn
And tossed into the sea
