i am evening the score i am cutting the umbilical cord curled with my teeth against my knees i am scratching at my consciousness like a bitch with fleas i think you'll be greatly pleased to learn that yours was the hardest itch to relieve this is me without my hair welcome to my open stare i got nothing to hide no more why disguise what isn't there i am an eyesore i am a detour you can find me crying on the shoulder of the road and i will tell you what you want to hear before i go and that is that yours was the hardest itch to relieve yours was the hardest itch to relieve i've mapped out my course looks like it's all uphill i've got a heavy heart to carry but a very strong will it's just hard to travel in the shadow of regret in fact it's so hard that i haven't actually left yet
