Scratch the Itch

Don't mind the crowd
I've long-lost all my shame
Promised to quit
But I can't resist
This habit clings
Like second skin
This craving's roots are buried in my being
Release is my desperate need

I push my nails into my skin
I'm relentless
I persist
Until resistance is broken

The blood is on my fingertips
What a sweet sensation
Lick my hands dry off the mess
Pleasure's absent in the taste

Blegh

My skin's a page for silent tales

In my daily ritual
I hide the aftermath
As water flows
So does my solemn oath
I hide the aftermath

And I know you do it too
I can sense a familiar urge within you
There's this shared secret in your eyes
I'm not alone in this
I'm not alone in this, I'm sure

With each cleansing
My commitment renews
Yet, the urge remains

I have to scratch the itch
I have to scratch the itch
I have to scratch the itch
