The Itch

Cover it with a bandage
Sew it up with a stitch
No matter how much you scratch
Seems you just can't stop the itch

Face your past
To let the healing begin
Turn a blind eye
And you'll never win

Look towards the future
Plan for a better tomorrow
Don't fill your days
With hidden angst and sorrows

When all hope seems lost
Give it another try
You've got no future
When you live just to die
