Wounds Itch When They Heal
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Can't seem to stop the bleeding
My skin is too thin.
All the wounds itch when they heal.
My skin is just a wrapping,
It's the insides you wanna steal,
You wanna steal.
Steal my bones - they ache
As I grow.
And they break from the blow.
So what did you learn in school?
If this is a joke,
Then it's too cruel!
So uncomfortably odd
You know they're going to break us down into parts
Mold our minds and our hearts,
Until they split
And we will fit
A perfect shape.
The perfect rape is not a crime
So we can do it all the time
But promise never to grow numb
Don't grow dumb,
Don't believe what they say
And don't play the games they play
Don't play the games they play
Don't play the games they play
Can't seem to stop the bleeding:
My skin is too thin.
All the wounds itch when they heal.
