Never told me 'bout the part About the hidden claw When I took this job Where you crawl so far in A scratch beneath your skin And I never took it off until You cut the flow with a tourniquet of lies Starting to hurt on the inside Pleased to meet you You're a bit too close You shake hands with your host And it turns out it's your own ghost
Sounded good At least on paper Until a few pages later we're drowning in the inkwell You're on your way to somewhere else Just like everybody else If the people that you meet are sad Keep your heart towards the stars Remember, they are never far And sometimes they might kiss you back
