'Wear your scars with pride' she said,
'There is no hiding it.
Only time can heal your wounds,
Time and bandages'
You were the bravest of the lot
But a lot it got you!
You were the martyr
And they were the fire
Now you're burning yourself in the name of the liars
It's too bad
That you were had
There was no election
Only frowns and stares in your direction
Your future cemented
You were cut out of stone
Like they left you in
That hospital wing
They were scared to death
To leave you alone
You were the bravest of the lot
But a lot it got you!
You were the martyr
And they were the fire
Now you're burning yourself in the name of the liars
It's too bad
That you were had
You weren't an easy sell
But hey, you're not invincible
An artificial heart
For an artificial girl
'Wear your scars with pride' she said
'There is no hiding it.'
