about

Something very different. Worked on a couple of versions before settling on this laid back one. Love the lyric and the feel of the track.

lyrics

Itch Turns To Scratch

Tired of the drag, always feeling put down.
Wonder if there’s any want to hang around?
Have to find a way, have to let it all go.
Scared of what’s coming but… need to know.
Yeah, moving on - I’m thinking of…
Want to breathe but stinking of
stalemate and stale air
holds me back without care.
Has to change…

But, who is there to help?
What’s stopping me, myself?

Looking for a path but it’s never that clear.
Don’t know where it starts or even if it’s here.
Need to find a map, yeah, a map of my mind.
It’s hard looking inwards when you’re blind inside.
Yeah, moving on - I’m thinking of…
Want to breathe but stinking of
stalemate and stale air
holds me back without care.
Has to change…

But, who is there to help?
What’s stopping me, myself?

Sweep it away if I’m sleeping all day.
Night time comes but I’m far from awake.
A thought comes through and itch turns to scratch.
A spark turns to flame at the strike of a match.
Yeah, moving on, I have a plan.
Start to breathe and take a stand.
Path is blurred but it’s ahead.
Step by step, I’m getting there.
See the change…

And still I need some help.
Forgiving me, myself.

Moving on, forget the past.
Flowing by, it’s all so fast.
On the path choices appear.
Forget the pain, forget the fear.
And let me change…
