Lera Lynn - Scratch + Hiss lyrics

Every scratch and hiss

Walled off and windowed away
Drowsy in the numbness
Hammering each other through the days
Deny deny we play dead inside to hide
We’re chained to something sharp and wild

We’re holding hands and twisting knives
Staring without blinking into
Each other's eyes
Love through suffering and sacrifice in bliss
Remember this in misery
Through every scratch and hiss

Reconnect and disconnect dissect
In obtuse angles
Undercover angered lovers, please
Don’t cry don’t cry
We lay in our bed and dread
We’re chained to something underfed

We’re holding hands and twisting knives
Staring without blinking into
Each other's eyes
Love through suffering and sacrifice in bliss
Remember this in misery
Through every scratch and hiss

Fanged hounds, we throw down
Fight to win we'll never
Understand the purpose
Round and round, we fall down
What now keeps us bound is only yearning
To be found, and feel the burning
Maybe even love deserving

We’re holding hands

We’re holding hands and twisting knives
Staring without blinking into
Each other's eyes
Love through suffering and sacrifice in bliss
Remember this in misery
Through every scratch and hiss

We’re holding hands we’re holding hands
