And my legs itch, Inside, like ants crawling in my veins, Like an energy being held down, Held back. The itch, That never goes away, As I try to remain still, As I try to focus. The itch. As if I wasn't meant to remain this way. As if I was meant to travel and move. As if I was meant to change and evolve. And the itch is not just in my legs. It's in my soul. As I look out a window on a sunny day, Or sit within the confines of a stagnant building, Or look at the sun twinkling on water, Or look at the stars waltzing in the black velvet of night. I itch. I feel the itch.

The Itch
And my legs itch, Inside, like ants crawling in my veins, Like an energy being held down, Held back. The itch, That never goes away, As I try to remain still, As I try to focus. The itch. As if I wasn't meant to remain this way. As if I was meant to travel and move. As if I was meant to change and evolve. And the itch is not just in my legs. It's in my soul. As I look out a window on a sunny day, Or sit within the confines of a stagnant building, Or look at the sun twinkling on water, Or look at the stars waltzing in the black velvet of night. I itch. I feel the itch.
