Lyrics

i am evening the score
i’m cutting the umbilical cord
curled with my teeth against my knees
scratching at my consciousness
like a bitch with fleas
i think you’ll be greatly pleased
to know that
yours was the hardest itch to relieve
this is me
without my hair
welcome to my open stare
i’ve got nothing to hide no more
why disguise
what isn’t there
i am an eyesore
i am a detour
you can find me crying
on the shoulder
of the road
and i will tell you
what you want to hear
before i go
and that is that -
yours was the hardest itch to relieve
i’ve mapped out my course
looks like it’s all uphill
and i’ve got a heavy heart to carry
but a very strong will
it’s just hard to travel
in the shadow of regret
it’s so hard
that i actually
haven’t left yet
