Scratch the Skin

On a bed of nails I try to rest my head Every nail a curse I should have faced but fled I'd do it again Takes much more to learn my lesson Things come to an end In this case that doesn't happen Make me see Why everything that's new to you Is old to me I breathe and bleed Even if I wanted to change It would all be for nothing Always dumbing down Pieces to make them fit Top of the world now No more, it's done, I quit It's just like I said Caught inside won't let it go Godlike in your head Taking over casting shadows Make me see Why everything that's new to you Is old to me I breathe and bleed Even if I wanted to change It would all be for nothing So scratch the skin Over and again Take all you can This is all I am I unravel all I have Is this what you want from me Shedding all my better half Shadows hang on me I hope you get away Straight down and back Everywhere I turn I see i've gotta move faster But every time I do I just go two steps back Straight down and back I am in rewind and everybody's moving past me I count them as they pass 1 2 1 2 3 1 2 1 2 3 Make me see Why everything that's new to you Is old to me I breathe and bleed Even if I wanted to change It would all be for nothing Make me see Why everything that's new to you Is old to me I breathe and bleed Even if I wanted to change It would all be for nothing It would all be for nothing It would all be for nothing
