Lyrics
Rip Off The Scab
I've told you it's you who I'll love forever
And sometimes you say you know
But then you're ashen faced
Your eyes go black and your lips they curl
And I know that it's then you're visualizing
That day I's with that girl
And you rip off the scab
And you lay it all open
And your bloods pouring out like a river
Yeah you rip off the scab
And you scream at the night
And my body it squirms and I shiver
Yes there in embrace in your own home
Clothes strewn across the floor
The love of your life betraying trust
Cutting you raw
And though I bowed down for resurrection
For you sorry isn't enough
And you rip . . .
You think that love should obey all the rules
And those who go break them
Are weak and they're fools
Yes when I'm digging deep out under the stars
I know you'll never take to a brand new start
Cause you rip . . . I should leave now
Cause hey I'm only human
