All these days I've waited for salvation
But them angels don't come
And I come to an end
Till I'm comforted by grief my best known friend
I've been blind and I've been voiceless
Had no mind chose to be choiceless
I thought patience led to good
Just a kid. Did the best I could
Beaten down, now
Tired from standing still
The angels still don't come
Yet I start to mend
Here again with good old grief
At river's bend
Laid too long with no desire
Burned to kindle others' fire
I never asked for much, my first mistake
In life you keep just half your take
Got nothing now but a back to break
A map of scars leads from her
Grave, by grave, by grave
A map of scars marks the place
Here's a soul to save
This voiceless girl has found a tongue to speak
And I see angels all around, buried loves I will keep
From my arms take my illusions and fling 'em deep
I'll be damned if I should wallow
Ain't no lamb or flock to follow
Blood now boils in my veins and melts the ice
Still I shiver from the power to pay the price
I'm salvation, I'm deliverance, I am sacrifice
This map of scars guides me on
My family shows the way
My map of scars spells my wounds
Save your soul today
I save my soul
Today
Today
Today
