Bent Shapes - Bites And Scratches lyrics

All bites and scratches, battened hatches. Down and out and down the spout in a spiderland I met a girl, to my surprise, said I'm damaged goods, she said 'so am I' so I held her hand. I'm not sure where she found strength to care; the things that would bleed us dry seemed to multiply. All bites and stings on phantom limbs we used to hold what we used to hold, hope we're smarter now. The past, you can trust, will f** you up. But hang onto love, it'll be enough to save you somehow. If drowned, i'll be renewed, sweet thing— I'll return to you again each spring. 'cause d**h is only a fact and that don't mean anything. Bored with moralizing stories, ignoring blurred lines that form in our future (doesn't exist yet, a gift for just past the present)
