lyrics

Was it ever worth it?
Making friends with the addled kind.
Closer to the surface,
As we spin out of satellites'.
Remember me by the scratches on furniture.
Remember me by the scratches on you.

Trying to do it without the lies
Seems a little undignified.
Tried to sign it and carved it up.
Nothing's lost if you can't be loved.
Trying to do it without the pride
Gets a little too bleak to try.
Should've known when it's said and done (/if you fuck shit up).
Should've known if you can't be loved.
And I can't be loved.

Just a little broken.
Trodden down, but you'll rise to shine.
Tell that to the roadkill,
Who have seen this a dozen times.
For we've all got burdens, we're all uncertain, and strayed from our paradigms.
Remember me by the scratches.

Damn these clumsy hands, a slow wave of surefire destruction, throwing complication upon complication.
Me, sure I mean well but I drip black tar, I rip apart. Any honest tries are misaligned.
Points for effort maybe but we leave here bruised. Tried and tried and terrified. So many times.
Reanalysed, reanalysed, reanalysed, but it's never right. Can't/Can't/Can't be loved.

Every ray of hope is a shameful joke.
Remember me by the scratches on you.
