Second Chance Charade - Scars Run Deep

I grew up in a house of smoke and lies
Parents tweaked out, demons in their eyes
Meth clouds filled the air, no escape
I was just a kid, but they set my fate
In school I was the freak , the outcast
Bullies on my back, yeah, they had a blast
Broken home, broken mind, no defense
Now I'm grown, but the pain's still intense
I'm living in the shadows of my past
Trauma on replay, pain's a fucking broadcast
I'm just trying to heal, but the scars run deep
Every night's a battle, trying to get some sleep
Mama was a ghost, daddy was a fiend
Both of them lost in the methamphetamine
I was just a kid, trying to find some light
But the darkness in my mind always won the fight
Now I'm grown, trying to fix what they broke
But the trauma got me drowning, yeah, I'm barely afloat
Popping pills, lighting up, trying to numb the pain
But the past keeps haunting me, driving me insane
All these voices in my head won't shut up
They whisper all my fears, yeah, they're fucked up
Trying to find peace, but it's out of reach
The scars from my past, they never breach
I'm living in the shadows of my past
Trauma on replay, pain's a fucking broadcast
I'm just trying to heal, but the scars run deep
Every night's a battle, trying to get some sleep
All these voices in my head won't shut up
They whisper all my fears, yeah, they're fucked up
Trying to find peace, but it's out of reach
The scars from my past, they never breach
I'm living in the shadows of my past
Trauma on replay, pain's a fucking broadcast
I'm just trying to heal, but the scars run deep
Every night's a battle, trying to get some sleep
