(Covered in) Scabs

She put tissues in her sock

Broke her shoes in on our walk

My baby and I, nothing to put under our mattress

They're selling all their stock

Cause, it's a necessary phase

It's the dark darkest of days

"I hope you're ready, you've got some shit to carry

You just gotta run and ignore pain"

But, the bootstrap's a knot

Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught

Again, I bleed out for what?

For what?

Was gonna start this thing for real

Ready to spin the fucking wheel

But, I guess it's not my time, I want more than I can ask for

So, what's the fucking deal with all the riches on TV?

"They want the best for you and me"

I hope you're ready, your money turned confetti

"You just gotta run, there's no guarantee"

But, the bootstrap's a knot

Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught

Again, I bleed out for what?

But, here I am pulling anyway on a bootstrap, a knot

Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught

Again, I bleed out for what?

For what?

The panic, it sets in

My blisters, my dead skin I pull off with the band aid

The rent's due, it can't wait

My knees hurt and my head spins

I'll give up, I can't win

I am, I was always the many, the deadweight

But, the bootstrap's a knot

Tried to pull me up, but my hands got caught

Again, I bleed out for what?

I tried my best, but I forgot to ask myself for what?
