Scratch + Hiss - Lera Lynn

Walled off and windowed away drowsy in the numbness

Hammering each other through the days, deny deny

We play dead inside to hide

We’re chained to something sharp and wild

We’re holding hands and twisting knives

Staring without blinking into each other’s eyes

Love through suffering and sacrifice in bliss

Remember this in misery, through every scratch and hiss

Reconnect and disconnect dissect in obtuse angles

Undercover angered lovers, please don’t cry don’t cry

We lay in our bed and dread

We’re chained to something underfed

We’re holding hands and twisting knives

Staring without blinking into each other’s eyes

Love through suffering and sacrifice in bliss

Remember this in misery, through every scratch and hiss

Fanged hounds, we throw down

Fight to win we’ll never understand the purpose

Round and round, we fall down

What now keeps us bound is only yearning

To be found, and feel the burning

Maybe even love deserving

We’re holding hands

We’re holding hands and twisting knives

Staring without blinking into each other’s eyes

Love through suffering and sacrifice in bliss

Remember this in misery, through every scratch and hiss

We’re holding hands

We’re holding hands
