Scratching Off With Friends

Scratching off

Scratching off with friends

VERSE ONE

M1s grinding as the morning wears thin

Eight of us gathered where the lecture had been

Tables pushed together before we break for lunch

Got the IFAT cards and a final hunch

Stethoscopes swinging coats are on the floor

Prepping for the tRAT like the ones before

We rub our coins you can feel the heat

A climax demanded before we eat

PRE-CHORUS

Pressure rising, time runs thin

Everybody's watching—let the timer begin

Getting close now to the skin beneath

Who's gonna scratch it first? We all breathe

CHORUS

We're scratching off with friends

(Rub it 'til the silver ends)

Scratching off with friends

(Consensus breaks before it bends)

In this circle where the answer lives

Working hard until the coating gives

Scratching off—scratching off with friends

VERSE TWO

We're stuck on a question for what seems an hour

Arguing mechanisms of cellular power

You say A but I'm feeling B

Gotta come together, set the answer free

The coating's thick so we really gotta grind

All our hands working from behind

Reveal what we're hiding, see what we got wrong

We've been at it so long

BRIDGE

I can feel us getting near the edge now

Everybody ready make the solemn vow

Getting warm getting there

Silver flying through the air

CHORUS

We're scratching off with friends

(Rub it 'til the silver ends)

Scratching off with friends

(Consensus breaks before it bends)

In this circle where the answer lives

Working hard until the coating gives

Scratching off—scratching off with friends

BRIDGE

Final question

hands are tired

What did we learn?

Reveal yourself to me

Show me what I need to see!

WHY?!

WE CAME TOGETHER AND SCRATCHED AWAY!

FOUND OUT IF WE PASSED TODAY!

FINAL CHORUS

We're scratching off with friends

(Rub it 'til the silver ends)

Scratching off with friends

(We all get there in the end)

We did it honest, did it tired, did it true

That's what medical students do !

Scratching off—scratching off...

...with friends.
