Painted Lines (Marla Reid 2017)
It's been said that time heals all wounds
But are they truly forgotten?
Like an odor left in a room
Wounds ferment till they're rotten
So the pain lingers on
Another day another year come and gone
Each sunset brings more painted lines
To darkened veils we hide behind
When removed then we would find
We're all small children inside
But God's hurting with us tonight
Injured people just walking around
Are the scars really fading?
Triggered by nothing more than a sound
Or words that are not placating
Brokenness lingers on
One more second of our lives come and gone
Each sunset brings more painted lines
To darkened veils we hide behind
When removed then we would find
We're all small children inside
But God's hurting with us tonight
That little girl didn't know what to say
When her innocence was stolen away
That little boy being beaten again
Just did what he could to keep himself hidden
Each sunset brings more painted lines
To darkened veils we hide behind
When removed then we would find
We're all small children inside
But God's hurting with us tonight
Each sunset brings more painted lines
