Scarred Hearts Collide

(mmm-hmmm) (hold on to the

morning)

Came up where the iron rails bend in the cold Turned every

bruised knuckle into solid gold Built a fortress of stone just to

keep out the pain Now you're standing in the doorway catching the

rain

Looking through the beast I raised to survive

Asking if the man underneath is alive

I swing at the dark while you reach for my hand Leaving

wreckage behind on this battle-worn land

Can you break the mirror before it breaks me?

There's a bell in the steeple,

an angel in flight

I will pull you up

over the edge of the night

You are more than the scars that you carve in your skin

Let the war settle down,

let the healing begin

(let the healing begin)

High above the street lamps where the air gets thin Fighting off

the fever

of the places I've been

You don't flinch at the venom,

you don't run from the fire You just walk through the ashes

of my desperate desire

(ooh, I see who you are)

Showing me the light through the smoke and the wire

I'm hanging on the ledge looking down at the

fall

(I hear you call) Breaking through the walls that I built up

so

tall

There's a bell in the steeple,

an angel in flight

I will pull you up

over the edge of the night (pull me over the night) You

are more than the scars that you carve in your skin

Let the war settle down,

let the healing begin

No monster in the mirror!

(I see the man within) Wash away the poison,

let the grace cave in!

(above the shining

heights,

we rise)

There's a bell in the steeple,

an angel in flight

We are rising together far over the night

No more beasts in the dark,

no more ghosts in the skin

Let the battlefield rest,

let the healing begin (yeah,

let it begin)

(rest your tired hands now)

I can finally see the man

(rest now)
