The Bowery - Gone Forever

Try to keep out of sight
No pain can be seen
Spent a lifetime to hide
What you should have been

With your sleeves rolled down
No scars can be found
Laying on your back
So you can’t hit the ground

Don’t count all the scars
The marks on your skin
Just look at the stars
Don’t you know they’ve been gone
For so long

The only way to turn the tide
Is to let yourself be drowned
The way to keep your head upright
Is to bow down to the ground Try not to close your eyes
It’s just a view from down below
No thought has ever changed a mind
Through the cuts the fruits will grow

Don’t count all the scars
The marks on your skin
Just look at the stars
Don’t you know they’ve been gone
For so long

Even though it hurts
We all have heard the words
We should not count the scars
‘Cause they’ll be gone forever

Even though it hurts
We all have heard the words
We should just count the stars
Not the scars – the broken jars
‘Cause they’ll be gone forever — forever

Even though it hurts
We all have heard the words
We should not count the scars
The bleeding hearts, cause the broken jars
Reveal the stars forever
