  • I need more than just blood and air to survive
    There's a hole so deep and cold, it will never see the light of day

    Until you feel the skin break
    Eyes are always falling on you
    But that itch, it keeps calling, calling
    Yeah, eyes are always falling on you
    And that itch, it keeps calling, calling

    I need more than just blood and air to survive
    (How can I give you any more when there's nothing left)
    There's a hole so deep and cold, it will never see the light of day
    (How can I give you any more when there's nothing)

    Until you feel the skin break
    Eyes are always falling on you
    But that itch, it keeps calling, calling
    Yeah, eyes are always falling on you
    And that itch, it keeps calling, calling

    We're weaker than we care to admit
    We scratch and itch
    We're graveyard shifting
    Biting and barking, fueling and sparking
    That fire, that itch
    And breaking the skin again

    Until you feel the skin break (those eyes)
    Eyes are always falling on you (that itch)
    But that itch, it keeps calling, calling (those eyes)
    Yeah, eyes are always falling on you (that itch)
    And that itch, it keeps calling, calling Writer/s: ADAM WOLOSZYN, DAVID LIZZIO, ELIAS SORIANO, JOHNNY KARKAZIS, RASHEED THOMAS, ROBERT RIVERA
