Lyrics Scratch - Colin Smith

In a pit we scrap for prizes.
Nude sacrifice. Unionized, secure.
With peace out of reach, the bad company has a sticky allure.

We are numb to all surprises, funny bones that can laugh no more.
No changes we seek. Days turn into weeks, not a thing to risk for.

I need a new love,
A girl with long red nails, to scratch you out of my mind.
I need a new love,
That kicks in when I fail to scratch you out of mind.

We have memories far and distant. Home videos, heroes not unlike
A virtuous date that intimidates, one we won't call back.

Well my real name I remember, but people just call me by my clothes.
It seems more apt,
Suits the way that I act. I don't care and it shows.
Your face will look well with the others, now sit for your pose.

I need a new love,
A girl with long red nails, to scratch you out of my mind.
I need a new love,
That kicks in when I fail to scratch you out of mind.
I need a new love.

The bottle's only a bottle when it's empty.

When I paint you, I use food, so I can devour you at will.
Ripe olives for eyes,
Guinness hair by your side. I want art I can kill
