Face down with my nails in the dirt again
Fade out like a light 'cause I needed some more
Can't embrace it
Can't escape it
It's just the same as before

But for better or worse
It either heals or it hurts
And I don't know if it's healing me anymore

I feel it coming back again
I feel it underneath my skin
Cut deep and peel it back to
Tear it away 'cause I'm closer to giving in

Just another hit
Just another fix
It's ok if you slip
Just a cure for the itch
It'll never go
It'll never show
Who has to know
'Cause you're here alone

Face down with my nails in the dirt again
It's how it always begins
But for better or worse
It either heals or it hurts
And I don't know if it's healing me anymore

I feel it coming back again
I feel it underneath my skin
Cut deep and peel it back to
Tear it away 'cause I'm closer to giving in
I feel it coming back again
I feel it underneath my skin
Cut deep and peel it back to
Tear it away 'cause I'm closer to giving in

Can't keep it locked up inside of myself, I'm out of control
I try to bury it deeper and deeper down in the hole
Death grip won't slip, it's got its claws in my neck
I'll let it kill me before I could feel an ounce of regret

I feel it coming back again
I feel it underneath my skin
Cut deep and peel it back to
Tear it away 'cause I'm closer to giving in
I feel it coming back again
I feel it underneath my skin
Cut deep and peel it back to
Tear it away 'cause I'm closer to giving in

(It either heals or it hurts)
(I don't know if it's healing me anymore)
It's underneath my skin
(It either heals or it hurts)
(I don't know if it's healing me anymore)
'Cause I'm closer to giving in
