SCRATCH! by The Symbles

SYMBLES_03

this is a song about starting over in a world that feels new, but also familiar in an unplaceable way.

it's also partially about a browser based webcomic where a similar thing happens. art can be about multiple things simultaneously, you know?

there's more going on underneath the hood than that, but who really cares. we certainly don't.

when you're trapped in your own mind
like there's just some great design
just ignore all of those signs
cause you don't know who left them to find
when you log on to your own files
and find logs that stretch on for miles
don't be afraid to touch that dial
and switch your face to a brand new smile

there's just a feeling i can't shake
has someone done this all before?
are we supposed to do it more?
there's something knocking at our door
and soon their names will start to pour
there's something sinking in to make a
home deep inside of my core
there's just a feeling i can't shake
there's just a feeling i can't shake
there's just a feeling i can't shake
that something here is meant to break

[#027902]
and i hold on to the blast
cause it's my only hope in a void so vast
i'm caught in a scratch
i'm not built to last
but we're the only things left to clean up this world you made

sometimes i feel like
everything i ever wanted to say
was already off to the post sent a million miles away
i'm already toast but i haven't gotten to bake
but i've been thinking that its time to quit the quitting talk
to me, walk with me
today i'm pulling that curtain back and making certain that
there's not an outline where my soul's supposed to be
told you its harder to see
but i'm here to set it all free
just gotta make sure not to spill out of the lines

[#eb6900]
make way cause we're coming through
we're starting from scratch
we're not the ones that you knew
time to light the match
not waiting for your cue

[#027902]
when you're at the edge of the board someone's drawn
don't you trade it all in for another pawn
there's other places that you could move on
cause the colors don't only belong to the dawn

[#027902]
and i hold on to the blast
cause it's my only hope in a void so vast
i'm caught in a scratch
i'm not built to last
but we're the only things left to clean up this world you made
and i let go of the past
cause i can't wrap myself in something that's smashed
that disk's been scratched
that hard drive is crashed
and we're the only things left to escape this game you've played

[#f068e4]
in between the lines and behind the sky
is where i'll find new kinds of ways to say goodbye but
i can't see the walls of the maze
so we'll just have to walk and walk and walk and walk and walk an d w alk an d w a l n d w k a

we're a group of small thingies that vibrate at such a velocity that we create something approximate to the human concept of "music."

this is a collective! some of our releases may be collaborative, but others may not be. you'll find odds, ends, bits, bobs, and much more on our page.

the alix bocis releases were all of us too, we just didn't know it quite yet.
