Skinscratch
It's okay, mother
It's only a scratch
I know it looks bad
But I feel fine enough
The fresh sting of open air
Is a welcome wake-up call
And the little bit of pain I feel
Doesn't really hurt at all

Even if you tried to steal it
I was curious and had to feel it
I know that I can deal with it
So don't you look
And I won't tell
Keep on thinking I'm in heaven
And maybe I won't feel like hell

It's okay, mother
It's just a skinscratch
Though it's red and jagged
It didn't bleed that much
The razorblade did its job
It bit my skin between its teeth
And the little bit of guilt I feel
Is only cause the blade's a leech

Sorry that I lied about it
I couldn't find a way around it
And I wouldn't stop if you'd've found it
So don't you ask
And I won't say
Keep on thinking you can trust me
And you might be able to one day

It's okay
It's only a scratch
It's okay
It's just a badge
It's okay
I don't think I'll ever crack
Though I feel like an egg
With yolk spilling from the broken half

And I think I quite like
My little skinscratch
