emily ayden - raw nerves lyrics

Loading...

i spend a lot of time
staring out the kitchen window
dwelling on doubts thinking of things
that i just couldn’t keep pinned down

relationships and situations
never worked out how i wanted
little words and devastations
that have left me haunted

all the ugly images, who’ll pay for the damages
when will i get what i deserve?

i’m a raw nerve don’t you know that
i’m a raw nerve don’t ya know that
i’m a raw nerve!

the man is coming in an hour to shut off the power
but i already feel so powerless
i feel like such a coward, so i take a cold shower
while i wish that i did not exist

wish i could make myself cry or list ten reasons not to die
but now i’m flying down the road starting to swerve

i’m a raw nerve don’t ya know that
i’m a raw nerve don’t ya know that
i’m a raw nerve!

part ii

the car went off the road
all that’s left are the tracks
like the ones in your arms
where the veins have collapsed

i lost my will, i lost my way
i thought i’d even lose myself
and now i can’t even say
‘well at least i have my health’

i’m a hollow woman
all the good in me has died
leaving a sh-ll, so broken
so empty inside

chorus

i’ve got nothing left
i’m barren and bitter and bereft
i’ve got nothing left
and i don’t know what comes next

i’ve got a face for radio
and a broken voice
but i don’t plan on letting go
if i have any choice

to keep on living
not to give in
not to listen to the demons
laughing at me while they place their bets
i’ve got nothing left

each time i make something
it’s something from nothing
each time i make something
it’s something from nothing at all

i’m broke as a joke and i’m sick as a dog
my lungs filled with smoke, and my heads full of fog
i’m high as a kite but i’m fit as a fiddle
i’m running on spite as i split down the middle

but i’ll fight (fight, fight!) one more hour, one more night
this life is the sentence i must serve

i’m a raw nerve
don’t ya know that i’m a raw nerve
i’m a raw nerve, don’t you know that
i’m a raw nerve!

i’m in so-oh-oh much pain
i can’t see straight
i guess that it’s time
to self medicate

will you wrap me in a blanket, baby
i’m a basket case
but nothing can touch me
when i’m in your embrace

look at me and you’ll see
a warped and worn out singer
as hopeless as a honey bee
with a torn out stinger

i’ve got nothing left
except for this feeling i can’t shake it
i’ve got nothing left
except for my heart, it’s yours, please won’t you take it?

tangled in the wreckage
of my bombed out skeleton
a pile of flesh and failing organs
with a foolish grin

smoke until my lungs turn black
i k!lled my cares can they come back
now i’ve got nothing but regret
i’ve got nothing left

something from nothing
each time that i create
something from nothing
each time that i create
i think i’m starting
to dissociate…
