Itch Apparatus 4

Chorus

Burrow deep, can't reach, can't see it

Itching in my head, gnawing at my skin

Digging in my nerves, making me twitch

Backseat driver living under my flesh

Post-Chorus

Scratch scratch

Flick flick

Where did you go now?

Verse 2

It's a mocking laugh, a dot I can't erase

Fingers chase the ghost but only get air

Sharp as static, runs along the spine

Lurking in the crosshairs of my mind

Pre-Chorus

Can't ignore it, can't outgrow it

Each day it's louder, creeping in slow

Chorus

Burrow deep, can't reach, can't see it

Itching in my head, gnawing at my skin

Digging in my nerves, making me twitch

Backseat driver living under my flesh

Post-Chorus

Scratch scratch

Flick flick

Where did you go now?

Bridge

Haunted by a dot, a signal flare on skin

Magnet for my worry, always pulling me in

Primal gnaw beneath a ribcage cage

Scrawls its name under layers, stirs a silent rage

Verse 3

Twist my shoulder, can't shake it free

Shadow puppet evading surgery

Maps my faults with tiny claws

Hostage to a blemish, rewriting my laws

Chorus

Burrow deep, can't reach, can't see it

Itching in my head, gnawing at my skin

Digging in my nerves, making me twitch

Backseat driver living under my flesh

Post-Chorus

Scratch scratch

Flick flick

Nowhere to hide now?

Outro

Circle of skin, echo of nerves

Unseen saboteur with couriers of itch

Contorted reach, forever just short

Catalog all scars, this one's the glitch

Post-Chorus

Scratch scratch

Tick tick

Will you let go now?
