Wounds Itch When They Heal
Can't seem to stop the bleeding
My skin is too thin
All the wounds itch when they heal
My skin is just a wrapping
It's the insides you wanna steal
You wanna steal
Steal my bones - they ache
As I grow
And they break from the blow
So what did you learn in school?
If this is a joke
Then it's too cruel!
So uncomfortably odd
You know they're going to break us down into parts
Mold our minds and our hearts
Until they split
And we will fit
A perfect shape
The perfect rape is not a crime, so we can do it all the time
But promise never to grow numb
Don't grow dumb
Don't believe what they say
And don't play the games they play
Don't play the games they play
Don't play the games they play
Can't seem to stop the bleeding:
My skin is too thin
All the wounds itch when they heal
