Scratch

Sharp as a shard
Hanging from your shed
We’re all hip as a hypocrite
Falling from your horse

‘Cos sometimes our minds just won’t let us feel alive
(Ticking time bombs, ticking time bombs)
Frequently pacing a peak where we draw the line
From minor to major

So write a book, white a book, tell me all about it
Well, write a novel about the modern world
So bite the hand, bite the hand, bite the hand that feeds you
Watching philosophy fade
So slowly

With kind but heavy eyes I will fall asleep into the market again
With kind but heavy eyes I will fall asleep
In harmony

Scratch my eyes out they’re killing me
Will someone get me all out of this place
We’re keeping it together, you say
You gotta keep with it, don’t make an impact

We sleep through distant misfortune
We sleep through this just know we can’t shake this off

We sleep through this just know we can’t wash this away

I see, I hear, I look like I listen
I feel everything you can feel
I see, I hear, I look like I listen
I feel everything you can feel
I see, I hear, I look like I listen
I feel everything you can feel
I see, I hear, I look like I listen
I feel everything you can feel

With kind but heavy eyes I will fall asleep into the market again
With kind but heavy eyes I will fall asleep
In harmony

Scratch my eyes out they’re killing me
Will someone get me all out of this place
We’re keeping it together, you say
You gotta keep with it, don’t make an impact

‘Cos everything we see reminds us of the better days
And every time we breathe
‘Cos everything we see reminds us of the better days
And every time we breathe we forget

‘Cos everything we see reminds us of the better days
And every time we breathe we forget how far we have come
‘Cos everything we see reminds us of the better days
And every time we breathe we forget how far we have come
