I'm still running my weekly rubric "Soundtracks For My Books" and letting you hear another song, the lyrics for which are written by me, while music is created by Suno AI. So, this week, I invite you to listen to the song called "Scars Are Like Poison" which became the soundtrack for "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars", Book 3 from the "Stronger Together" series.
"Scars Are Like Poison" is about the fact that any scars can hide a story and a reason to let yourself break down and fall into the abyss. It's about the scars that literally burn you inside and make you go crazier and crazier. I chose this topic for the reason since all the events that happen to the characters of the book "The Secrets Hidden In The Scars" are connected with one little thing – it's scars. This song encourages you not to hold down the pain and to talk about it openly. It encourages you to ask your close people for help and remember that the world has at least one person that wouldn't call your problems some kind of absurd and wouldn't tell you to get off.
[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
Every scar has its story to share
It hides the reason for all my tears
The reason to fall, the reason to break
Gotta jump outta my skin to be fake
To tame the pain that pushes me to the edge
And makes me take one step to death
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not okay to smile when you’re hurt
You’ve got someone who cares about you
All your problems will never be absurd
There’s always someone willing to save you
From falling into the abyss
[Chorus]
Scars are like poison
They can wound you like a gun
Keepin’ the memories that kill you slowly
Makin’ you feel depressed and lonely
Scars are like poison
They make you feel like you’re in prison
Whispers terrorize you every time
You wanna run away and send a sign
[Post-Chorus]
Scars are like poison (it kills you inside, oh, oh, oh)
Every scar has its story (it makes you cry, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
Every cut has its story to share
It hides the pain you can barely bear
You’re drowning, you’re losing breath
No longer resist the fact you’re close to death
No longer damage your vocal cord callin’ out friends
'Cause you’re sure nothing can help you make amends
[Pre-Chorus]
It’s not okay to say you’re used to pain
It’s not okay to withdraw and burn from shame
For those who won’t tell you to get off and leave
Who would sacrifice anything to make you believe
You ain’t alone in this cruel world
[Chorus]
Scars are like poison
They can wound you like a gun
Keepin’ the memories that kill you slowly
Makin’ you feel depressed and lonely
Scars are like poison
They make you feel like you’re in prison
Whispers terrorize you every time
You wanna run away and send a sign
[Bridge]
The scars you’re hiding under your clothes
The agony that is skinning you alive
Follow the voice before you turn to bones
Reach the light before the devil arises
You’re dead inside, you’re blue and cold
You’re weak, you feel like you’re choking
[Breakdown]
But you’re still strong to breathe and stand
You’re never weak to run and grab my hand
[Chorus]
Scars are like poison (it’s your poison)
They can wound you like a gun
Keepin’ the memories that kill you slowly
Makin’ you feel depressed and lonely
Scars are like poison (they skin you alive)
They make you feel like you’re in prison
Whispers terrorize you every time
You wanna run away and send a sign
[Outro]
Follow the voice before you turn to bones
Reach the light before the devil arises
