Hard Times

Digging beneath my fingernails and finding dirty evidence
Of scratching to satisfaction, all my healing epidermis
Lucky for me I’ve got Vitamin E
That might stop these scars from overtaking my entire body
Tempted to peel away the part of you that has ideals
Seems such a shame to lose the higher hopes of corporeal
If I could open wide my inner sides
Expose the flesh and show what being open really looks like
Much as I can
As much as I could
Much as I should
Much more than I do
I could pull together
Much as I can
As much as I could
Much as I should
Given such a hard time
I know this is what you see
Given such a hard time that I should be so lucky
Already such as it could be easy
Given such a hard time
Hard time
Hard time
Hard time
Hard time
Hard time
Hard time
Hard time
Hard time
Hard time
Hard time
Digging beneath your fingernails and finding dirty evidence
Of scratching to satisfaction all the healing epidermis
Until I can redefine what holds us on
Even the softest touch won’t do much
Won’t do much
Won’t do much
Much as I can
As much as I could
Much as I should
Much more than I do
I could pull together
Much as I can
As much as I could
Much as I should
Much more than I do
I could pull together
