Orphic Elegy - Scratches Lyrics



Orphic Elegy - Scratches Lyrics




They say when you put two mudpuppies
In a pail together they'll fight to the death
Like two cats tied at the tail
When we moved in together
I felt the pail close around us
And I watched as though I wasn't inside
As though I wasn't there

At first I thought my life would sit
Outside the walls
Making room for you
And find the cracks to seep into
But our tails were tied
And when I pulled you pulled I pulled
And we'd go to bed at night
Covered with scratches

Sometimes I feel the string
Digging into my tail
As though it were still there
As though it were there
And I want to scratch you
Until you don't pull me anymore
Just so we can finally go to bed again

But when I scratch you're not there
You're not there
I'm alone in the pail
And I've seeped into all the cracks
I keep biting and scratching
Biting scratching at nothing
Hoping you'll be there when I open my eyes
When I open my eyes

Sometimes I feel the string
Digging into my tail
As though it were still there
As though it were there
And I want to scratch you
Until you don't pull me anymore
Just so we can finally go to bed again

Just so we, just so we can
Go to bed again

In a pail together they'll fight to the death
Like two cats tied at the tail

And I watched as though I wasn't inside

At first I thought my life would sit
Outside the walls
Making room for you
And find the cracks to seep into
But our tails were tied
And when I pulled you pulled I pulled
And we'd go to bed at night
Covered with scratches

Sometimes I feel the string
Digging into my tail
As though it were still there
As though it were there

Until you don't pull me anymore
Just so we can finally go to bed again

But when I scratch you're not there
You're not there
I'm alone in the pail
And I've seeped into all the cracks
I keep biting and scratching
Biting scratching at nothing
Hoping you'll be there when I open my eyes
When I open my eyes

Sometimes I feel the string
Digging into my tail
As though it were still there
As though it were there
And I want to scratch you
Until you don't pull me anymore
Just so we can finally go to bed again

Just so we, just so we can
Go to bed again
