Scratch the Skin

On a bed of nails
 I try to rest my head
 Every nail a curse
 I should have faced but fled
 I'd do it again
 Takes much more to learn my lesson
 Things come to an end
 In this case that doesn't happen
 Make me see
 Why everything that's new to you
 Is old to me
 I breathe and bleed
 Even if I wanted to change
 It would all be for nothing
 Always dumbing down
 Pieces to make them fit
 Top of the world now
 No more, it's done, I quit
 It's just like I said
 Caught inside won't let it go
 Godlike in your head
 Taking over casting shadows
 Make me see
 Why everything that's new to you
 Is old to me
 I breathe and bleed
 Even if I wanted to change
 It would all be for nothing
 So scratch the skin
 Over and again
 Take all you can
 This is all I am
 I unravel all I have
 Is this what you want from me
 Shedding all my better half
 Shadows hang on me
 I hope you get away
 Straight down and back
 Everywhere I turn I see i've gotta move faster
 But every time I do I just go two steps back
 Straight down and back
 I am in rewind and everybody's moving past me
 I count them as they pass
 1 2 1 2 3
 1 2 1 2 3
 Make me see
 Why everything that's new to you
 Is old to me
 I breathe and bleed
 Even if I wanted to change
 It would all be for nothing
 Make me see
 Why everything that's new to you
 Is old to me
 I breathe and bleed
 Even if I wanted to change
 It would all be for nothing
 It would all be for nothing
 It would all be for nothing
