Seabirds circle under storm clouds in the harbour

The crane turns

A distant song of sirens drifting through the silence

The sky churns

Gone but always here

Scars never disappear

Waves break into crystal

Windows shake and whistle

Hide inside

Bay lights fade and flicker

Feel her coming nearer on my blindside

Gone but always here

Scars never disappear

All I need is near

Scars never disappear

Everything I own

Is stitched and sewn into the scars that made me

A man of skin and bone

Naked alone

Walking into the boiling sea

Scars never disappear

Scars never disappear
