I’m battle worn, for now
Through gritted teeth you say nothing
A sideways glance tells me everything
I look away, I don’t want to say
The wrong thing
You say you want to believe
So, do I
We’ve been here a thousand times
No matter how we try
We wear our scars, with pride
With a gentle touch, we heal the hurt
Cautious at first, cautious as always
Deep in a cuddle, an afterglow of subtle
Always hoping …
You say you want to believe
So, do I
We’ve been here a thousand times
No matter how we try

The idea of a Scars e.p. came about following 2 individual comments that suggested the possibility of differing vocal interpretations of The Affectionate Punch songs. This was mulled over with interest resulting in a resounding yes.
The e.p. consists of 6 vocal interpretations of Scars in addition to 1 instrumental track. Each track has its own cover art
The e.p. is available as a free download via Bandcamp.
The video, featuring Scars III, can be viewed here:
