Hollywood Arson Project - Picking Scabs Lyrics

We scratched the surface
We scratched the itch down to the bone
Now nerves are showing

"Why heed the warning
For consequences overblown"
Are these the seeds we're sewing

Gave voice to those who should be silenced
Obfuscate veracity

Like picking scabs
Impulsive autopilot
New reality

But I can't resist the urge, no

Participating
Riding the wave toward demise
The blood is flowing

It's self deception
Stand on the upside looking down
Becoming what you've hated

We shit where we eat
Complain for the stink
As we bite the hand that feeds

Ignore the past repeating
Life depleting
If it bleeds it leads

But I can't resist the urge, no
