Scarred Wings

{deep warm vocal

humming} Mmm, mmm, mmm {ambient pad swell}

Heavy boots on a gravel road

Fourteen years with a heavy load

Nobody asks where you spent the night {hushed acoustic guitar

fingerpicking} Growing up too fast in a quiet room

Waiting for the morning to dispel the gloom {subtle clean electric guitar

swells} Oh,

teenage years are a quiet war

Fighting for things you can't afford

Left in the dark but we try to shine (ooh-ooh)

{full ambient

indie rock band entry} Broken glass on the kitchen floor

Locking latch on the bedroom door

Counting down till the age of escape

{soft fingerpicked guitar re-enters}

Oh,

teenage years are a quiet war

Fighting for things you can't afford

Left in the dark but we try to shine

(ooh-ooh) {swelling instruments}

Mmm, mmm, mmm {vocal

fading into quiet

space} {acoustic guitar trail off}
