Rush — Scars

[Verse 1] I've stood upon my mountaintop And shouted at the sky Walked above the pavement With my senses amplified I get this feeling... All my nerves are naked wires Tender to the touch Sometimes super sensitive But who can care too much? I get this feeling... [Chorus]x2 Scars of pleasure Scars of pain Atmospheric changes Make them sensitive again [Verse 2] Each emotional injury Leaves behind its mark Sometimes they come tumbling out Like shadows in the dark I get this feeling... When I think about all I have seen And all I'll never see When I think about the people Who have opened up to me I get this feeling... [Chorus]x2 Scars of pleasure Scars of pain Atmospheric changes Make them sensitive again [Verse 3] Snow falls deep around my house And holds the winter light I've heard the lions hunting In the Serengeti night I get this feeling... Forests turned to factories And river, sea, and sky Hungry child in the desert And the flies that cloud her eyes I get this feeling... [Chorus]x4 Scars of pleasure Scars of pain Atmospheric changes Make them sensitive again [Bridge] Pleasure leaves a fingerprint As surely as mortal pain In memories they resonate And echo back again... [Chorus]x3 Scars of pleasure Scars of pain Atmospheric changes Make them sensitive again
