Once The Scars Have Healed

The illusion begins at first sight

And nothing is ever what it seems

Trying to look beneath the surface

Can sometimes lead to scars and bloodshed

But the only way to find

Something you might be able to count on

Is to dive in headfirst

Mindful of the broken thorns

And hopeful that the bloodletting

Leads to better days

Once the scars have healed
