Bad Itches Songtext
von Synthi Ribell

Shhh
Yeah
Bad itches

They see me walkin′ with my head up high (so high)
Think my skin is perfect, think my composure's lie
But underneath this denim, underneath this lace
There′s a frantic little fire I'm tryna displace
Got a smile for the camera, a nod for the scene
While I'm countin′ all the exits, feelin′ barely seen
This ain't the kind of flaw that a filter can fix
It′s a persistent, pesky, peculiar kind of mix

They all wannabe's cool and unbothered
But I′m just fightin' a feelin′ that I somehow smothered
Oh no, here it comes


Bad, bad, bad, bad itches (yeah)
Scratchin' at the surface of a perfect day (ooh)
Bad-bad itches (c'mon)
Makin′ me twitch in a major way (way)
Looks so smooth, but it′s a beautiful mess
This private little war in a party dress
Bad, bad, bad itches (hey)
Nothin' ever fixes my bad itches

(Itches, itches, itches, bad itches)
Nothin′ ever fixes
(Itches, itches, itches, yeah, itches)

It's in the grocery line, it′s at the bottom of my cup
The feelin' that I should be givin′ up, but I don't
It's the tag on my sweater, the pea under the bed
A million tiny worries messin′ with my head
I′m polishin' the surface ′til it's good and clean
While I′m hostin' a riot on the routine
A socialite on main street, a recluse in my mind
The two are permanently intertwined

They all wannabe′s, yeah, that's the goal
But I'm just tryna keep some semblance of control
Can′t control it, now drop


Bad, bad, bad itches (let′s go)
Scratchin' at the surface of a perfect day (scratchin′)
Bad-bad itches (c'mon)
Makin′ me twitch in a major way (huh-huh)
Looks so smooth, but it's a beautiful mess
This private little war in a party dress
Bad, bad, bad itches (hey)
Nothin′ ever fixes my bad itches

And everybody's got one, a secret silent scream
A wrinkle in the fabric of the dream
(You got one, I know you one)
We're all just dancin′ with our own bad itch
In the club, in the car, in the—
Itch-itch-itch-itch

Bad, bad, bad, bad itches (hey)
Scratchin′ at the surface of a perfect day (ooh)
Bad-bad itches (c'mon)
Makin′ me twitch in a major way (way)
Looks so smooth, but it's a beautiful mess
This private little war in a party dress
Bad, bad, bad itches (hey)
Nothin′ ever fixes my bad itches

(Itches, itches, bad itches)
Nothin' ever fixes (itches, itches, bad)
My bad itches
(Itches, yeah, yeah)
