Chicken scratch scrawled across my arm Lanced into skin Laced upon flesh, Written in blood, The story Hidden beneath the cover of light Undersaturated camera lenses Erase scars and cover blemishes, Cover the blood on my hands The scars engraved on my left hand Placed there carefully by my right hand Lies only go so far, I carve the truth on my bones Dancing fingers Across the duvet Crippled but still the Piano they play Trembling fingers Rubbing in lotion Onto dried skin Chapped by the ocean Where oh where have my Finger gone? Where! Oh where! Have my Fingers gone? Scarred fingers give way To scarred little stumps, Worn down to the bone And past it still Grinding wheel Spun too far The world stole my fingers The world stole my heart

Chicken scratch
Chicken scratch scrawled across my arm Lanced into skin Laced upon flesh, Written in blood, The story Hidden beneath the cover of light Undersaturated camera lenses Erase scars and cover blemishes, Cover the blood on my hands The scars engraved on my left hand Placed there carefully by my right hand Lies only go so far, I carve the truth on my bones Dancing fingers Across the duvet Crippled but still the Piano they play Trembling fingers Rubbing in lotion Onto dried skin Chapped by the ocean Where oh where have my Finger gone? Where! Oh where! Have my Fingers gone? Scarred fingers give way To scarred little stumps, Worn down to the bone And past it still Grinding wheel Spun too far The world stole my fingers The world stole my heart
