Steemit Open Mic Week 74 - Scratch (Original Song) by @chimtivers96

Scratch (Original Song) for Steemit Open Mic!

Thanks to @luzcypher and @pfunk for being jazz giants, this has been such a great experience!

The song is called Scratch, I play it with my band. It's on our EP. We like it a lot and we hope you do to.

Lyrics:

Sitting here waiting for the 117
The cold is freezing my breath
I'm rocked around by every bump in this town
I'm the only ghost left

It's a quarter after midnight
And even the street lamps
All fell asleep, hanging over the sidewalk
Autumn rain is dreaming down my hands
Swearing I could hear the engine talk

Scratch it any more, it might scar
I don't want to see anything else fall apart
Scratch it any more, it might scar
And if all it does is itch, I would say

We've come far

Keep your head low
Don't come near
You'll never know
I was here

Scratch it any more, it might scar
I don't want to see anything else fall apart
Scratch it any more, it might scar
And if all it does is itch, I would say

We've come far

Thanks a lot for watching! You're the best. Let me know if you have an open mic submission you want me to check out and comment on. I'll be checking out other submissions when I can but I'm at Uni so things are a bit busy!
