digging beneath my fingernails and finding dirty evidence
of scratching to satisfaction all my healing epidermis
lucky for me i've got vitamin e
that might stop these scars from overtaking my entire body
tempted to peel away the part of you that has ideals
seems such a shame to lose the higher hopes of corporeal
if i could open wide my inner sides
expose the flesh and show what being open really looks like
much as i can as much as i could
much as i should much more than i do
i could pull together
much as i can as much as i could
much as i should
given such a hardtime
i know this is what you see given such a hard time
that i should be so lucky
already such as it could be easy
given such a hardtime
digging beneath your fingernails and finding dirty evidence
of scratching to satisfaction all the healing epidermis
until i can redefine what holds us on
even the softest touch won't do much
much as i can as much as i could
much as i should much more than i do
i could pull together
