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
