Scratch + Hiss

Every scratch and hiss

Walled off and windowed away drowsy in the night Hammering each other through the days denied, denied We play dead inside to hide We're chained to something sharp and wide

We're holding hands and twisting knives Staring without blinking into each others' eyes Love through suffering and sacrifice and bliss Remember this in misery through every scratch and hiss

Reconnect and disconnect, dissecting out two singles 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 others' eyes Love through suffering and sacrifice and bliss Remember this in misery through every scratch and hiss

Faint Hearts We settle down Fight to win we'll never understand the purpose Run And learn We fall down Right now keeps us from this holy yearning To be found in fields a'burning Maybe even love deserving

We're holding hands

We're holding hands and twisting knives Staring without blinking into each others' eyes Love through suffering and sacrifice and bliss Remember this in misery through every scratch and hiss

We're holding hands We're holding hands
