scab and plaster (demo version 2) - marina lyrics
[verse 1]
i stepped into a room of clocks
that all told different times
i stepped into a mirrored world
that mirrored all our crimes
[chorus]
you keep picking at the scab
and i’ll keep selling the plaster
keep telling me that i’m bad
and i keep on getting better faster
[post-chorus 1]
you hold me down and you hold me up
you can’t communicate
you brought me up just to bring me down
i’ve nothing left to say
[verse 2]
i’ve lost, i’ve lost my innocence
i’ve found my self-belief
and from a cup of loneliness
i’ve found instant relief
[verse 3]
you hold me down, you hold me up
oh daddy, are we out of luck?
you brought me up to bring me down
you shut me in, you shut me out
[verse 4]
i’m going, i’m going to heaven
i’m going, i’m going to h-ll
if n-body could see
i’d hold my hand out to be held
[verse 5]
i wish that you could just admit
that you did bad things too
instead of critizing me
so i don’t look at you
[post chorus]
you hold me down and you hold me up
you can’t communicate
brought me up and you bring me down
i’ve nothing left to say
i’ve lost, i’ve lost my innocence
i’ve found my self-belief
and in a cup of loneliness
i’ve found instant relief
you hold me down, you hold me up
oh daddy, are we out of luck?
you brought me up you bring me down
you shut me in, you shut me out
you keep picking at the scab
so i’ll keep on selling the plaster
and you, you think i’m bad
so i keep on getting better faster
i’ve lost, i’ve lost my innocence
i’ve found my self-belief
and in a cup of loneliness
i’ve found instant relief
you hold me down, you hold me up
oh daddy, are we out of luck?
you brought me up to bring me down
you shut me in, you shut me out
i’ve lost, i’ve lost my confidence
i’ve found my self-belief
and in a cup of loneliness
i found instant relief
you tell me what to say and wear
you say that it’s because you care
but i prefer to be alone
than live a life that’s not my own
own, own, ohh, ohh, ohh…
