NDC Throwback Thursday Genre: Stoner Rock Theme: Bugs ---------------------------------------------------- [Intro] under… under… under… under the skin… [Verse 1] Got a whisper in my bones, yeah it started in the night Little feet in the silence, crawling just outta sight Tried to shake it in the morning, tried to wash it all away But it sticks like a fever, won’t fade Hands on fire, scratching lines in my sleep Digging trenches in a place too deep Every mirror says I look the same But I feel them moving in my veins [Pre-Chorus] Under the surface, under control Under the skin where it starts to grow You can’t see it, you can’t cut it out But you feel it moving all around [Chorus] ITCHY SKIN Let it crawl, let it in ITCHY SKIN Never ends, never ends ITCHY SKIN Scratch it open, let it bleed ITCHY SKIN Yeah it’s living off me [Verse 2] Every nerve like a wire, every thought like a spark Hear ’em chewing in the corners of the dark Little kingdom building up inside my chest And the king don’t ever rest Tried to drown it in the whiskey, tried to burn it in the sun But it multiplies faster than I can run Every second, every breath I take Feels like something’s gonna break [Pre-Chorus] Under the surface, under my name Under the rhythm inside my brain You can’t kill it, you can’t make it stop Every heartbeat makes it crawl [Chorus] ITCHY SKIN Let it crawl, let it in ITCHY SKIN Never ends, never ends ITCHY SKIN Scratch it open, let it bleed ITCHY SKIN Yeah it’s feeding on me [Bridge] Feel it… feel it… feel it… Don’t fight it… don’t fight it… Cut it out— It comes back Burn it down— It adapts Break the shell— Still inside Nowhere left… now to hide [Breakdown] Peel it back—what do you find? Another layer, still alive Dig it out, go deeper still It don’t die—it never will [Final Chorus] ITCHY SKIN Let it crawl, let it in ITCHY SKIN Never ends, never ends ITCHY SKIN Scratch it open, let it bleed ITCHY SKIN Yeah it’s everything I need [Outro] under the skin… under the skin… under the skin…
