The Scab Lyrics by ​an Unkindness

10 Years

2011

[Verse 1]
I've got a secret
It's bleeding through my eyes
I might just keep it
It's part of my disguise

[Chorus]
I'm going down and down and down and down and down and down and deeper
I never go to sleep but I try to be a dreamer
I never go to sleep, I never go to sleep
I never go to sleep, please let me go to sleep

[Verse 2]
Isn't this fun?
Look at how normal you are
You've got your wife and you've got your good book
And you've got your mediocre car
I've got a scab inside my throat
It expands each time I poke
When will the world finally know
My entire life is one big fucking inside joke?

[Chorus]
Going down and down and down and down and down and down and deeper
I never go to sleep but I try to be a dreamer
I never go to sleep, I never go to sleep
I never go to sleep, please let me go to sleep

[Post-Chorus]
Please let me go to sleep
I wanna go to sleep
I wanna go to sleep

[Bridge]
Isn't this fun?
Isn't this fun?
Isn't this fun?
Please tell me you're having fun
You'd better be, 'cause I'm sure as hell not

[Chorus]
I'm going down and down and down and down and down and down and deeper
I never go to sleep but I try to be a dreamer
I never go to sleep, I never go to sleep
I never go to sleep, please let me go to sleep

[Post-Chorus]
Please let me go to sleep
I wanna go to sleep
I wanna go to sleep

[Outro]
I try to go to sleep
I've gotta find a way to sleep
I've gotta find a way to sleep
I swear I'll find a way to sleep
