"Scab" lyrics

Rubbermaid tubs full of memories
And keepsakes stay packed
It's a sick kind of sympathy
You only get when you're stuck in the past
Discard the garbage that you didn't want
Pick at your old friends like scabs
Don't have to treat me like royalty
But you don't have to treat me like that

Well, I'll be here holding my breath
I'll be here holding my breath
I'll dig my heels in wet cement
So there's no question where I went
I'll be here, kicked while you're down

Heard you think I'm disgusting
Just as you slammed the door
I'm a dust-caked reminder
And that's why you don't open my drawer

Well, I'll be here holding my breath
I'll be here holding my breath
I'll dig my heels in wet cement
So there's no question where I went
I'll be here holding my breath

Past 16 months were such a wreck
But someday soon you'll retrace your steps
Lead you right back to where you left
I'll be here holding my

I'll be here holding my breath
I'll be here holding my breath
I'll dig my heels in wet cement
So there's no question where I went
I'll be here holding my breath
I'll be here holding my breath
