Scratch the Skin - No Warning

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

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
