Sandpaper

Sandpaper

Music and Lyrics by Drew Brody

sandpaper on your skin
you bear it
and you wait for it to end
same ladder, different climb
yeah you bear it

but it’s not getting better, not getting better no you’re always gonna feel the same
sandpaper on your skin

he loves you – not enough
you love him, but he plays too rough
and i love you
you’re my blood
but i can’t bear it, no

cause it’s not getting better, not getting better no you’re always gonna feel the same
sandpaper

a change in the weather
a change in scene
wave goodbye
it’s time to leave
the taste of the ashes
the sulfur smell

when the lights go out and you can’t say
if it’s the bulb or it’s the fuse
either way you have to choose
you can sit around in the dark

or you can move

so make dinner, fix his drink
look lovely, don’t think too hard
who are you? where you been?
and how can you bear it?

cause it’s not getting better, not getting better no you’re always gonna feel the same
you can lie to your children cry to the television
nothing’s ever gonna change
if you think that you’re worthless think you deserve it then you’re always gonna feel the same
sandpaper on your skin
