Itch Lyrics by Ani DiFranco

Itch Lyrics

    I am evening the score
    I am cutting the umbilical cord
    curled with my teeth against my knees
    I am scratching at my consciousness
    like a bitch with fleas
    I think you'll be greatly pleased
    to learn that yours was the hardest
    itch to relieve

    this is me
    without my hair
    welcome to my open stare
    I got nothing to hide no more
    why disguise what isn't there
    I am an eyesore
    I am a detour
    you can find me crying on
    the shoulder of the road
    and I will tell you
    what you want to hear
    before you go
    and that is that
    yours was the hardest itch to relieve
    yours was the hardest itch to relieve

    I've mapped out my course
    looks like it's all uphill
    I've got a heavy heart to carry
    but a very strong will
    it's just hard to travel
    in the shadow
    of regret
    in fact it's so hard
    that I haven't actually left yet
