[Intro] (Fx: Scratching) why am I so damn itchy, it's drivin'me insane... [Verse 1] Felt a itch behind my knee on a Tuesday afternoon, Scratched it, forgot it, figured it'd be gone soon. Went for a run, felt lighter than I should, Like my legs had somethin' extra tellin' 'em they're good. Coach said I broke a record, I just laughed it away, Didn't think about the itch again for two more days. [Hook] Somethin's steerin' — somethin' ain't me, My hands moved before I told 'em to be. [Verse 2] Woke up starving for somethin' I ain't never crave, Sugar, stillness, inside a dark cave! In a patch of moisture, didn't wanna ask why, Just wanted to root down and watch the clouds go by. Told my girl I was fine. Wasn't lying, exactly — But it wasn't fully true but I said it -matter-o-Factly. [Verse 3] Found the mark on my ribs, small, orange and neat, Pulsing in-sync with my heart, matchin' its beat. Tried to pull it, but it held on, like it knew my game, Been pumpin' too long inside of my veins! Way an old friend knows exactly where to press. I stopped fighting back about then. I confess. [Verse 4] My jaw don't answer right when I try to talk, Legs still movin' but I ain't steering the walk. I can feel it deciding where the sunlight's best, Can feel it choosing a hill to lay me down to rest. I'm still — I'm still in here!! Somewhere in the back.. I can see out. I just can't get the wheel back!! [Outro] Tell her — tell her... i wasn't — i wasn't — (Fx:Gasping for breath) It's... not... — (fx: straining) me... [silence]
