Scab And Plaster
I stepped into a room of clocks that all told different timesI stepped into a mirrored world that mirrored all our crimesYou keep picking at the scab and I'll keep selling the plasterYou keep telling me that I'm badBut I keep on getting better faster
You hold me down and you hold me upYou can't communicateYou brought me up just to bring me downI've nothing left to say
I've lost, I've lost my innocenceI've found my self-beliefAnd in a cup of lonelinessI've found instant relief
You hold me down, you hold me upOh Daddy, are we out of luck?You brought me up to bring me downYou shut me in, you shut me up
I'm gone, I'm gone to heavenI'm gone, I'm gone to hellIf nobody could see I'd hold my hand out to be held
You hold me down and you hold me upI can't communicateYou brought me up just to bring me downI've nothing left to say
I've lost, I've lost my innocenceI've found my self-beliefAnd in a cup of lonelinessI've found instant relief
You hold me down, you hold me upOh Daddy, are we out of luck?You brought me up, you bring me downYou shut me in, you shut me up
You keep picking at the scabSo I'll keep on selling the plasterAnd you, you think I'm badSo I'll keep on getting better faster
I've lost, I've lost my innocenceI've found my self-beliefAnd in a cup of lonelinessI've found instant relief
You hold me down, you hold me upOh Daddy, are we out of luck?You brought me up to bring me downYou shut me in, you shut me out
I've lost, I've lost my confidenceI found my self-beliefAnd in a cup of lonelinessI sailed a thousand seas
You tell me what to say and wearYou say that it's because you careBut I prefer to be aloneThan live a life that's not my own
