Maybe I have a sandpaper soul Scratching pieces of you into dust All while wishing you’d stay rough And also the perfect smooth You’ve already found your groove For one who don’t want to know There’s nothing to prove I coulda been better I coulda been best But the proctor of the test Keeps the door shut Locked with a key Forgot where it’s put I send reminders daily But you’re not even looking for me

Lost keys
Maybe I have a sandpaper soul Scratching pieces of you into dust All while wishing you’d stay rough And also the perfect smooth You’ve already found your groove For one who don’t want to know There’s nothing to prove I coulda been better I coulda been best But the proctor of the test Keeps the door shut Locked with a key Forgot where it’s put I send reminders daily But you’re not even looking for me
