Let It In

It starts with an itch and a tingle
 Then it builds and expands
 And suddenly all at once my legs won't let me stand
 I scratch till my fingers go numb
 But my skin never bleeds
 A silent accomplice waits and feeds when I'm asleep
 There's something that lives inside me
 I promise I never let it in
 It grows and divides inside me
 It's making a home beneath my skin
 The seeds have been buried deeply
 The roots are in place
 It's crowding the sun and it's darkened my days
 I've taken it all for granted
 But now it's too late
 There's nothing that's left to do but wait
 There's something that lives inside me
 I promise I never let it in
 It grows and divides inside me
 It's making a home beneath my skin
 It starts with an itch and a tingle
 Then it builds and expands
 And suddenly all at once my legs won't let me stand
 I scratch till my fingers go numb
 But my skin never bleeds
 A silent accomplice waits and feeds when I'm asleep
 There's something that lives inside me
 I promise I never let it in
 It grows and divides inside me
 It's making a home beneath my skin
