Ani DiFranco - Itch Lyrics

I am evening the score
I am cutting the umbilical cord
Curled with my teeth against my knees
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, I am
Yours was the hardest itch to relieve, I am
Yours was the hardest itch to relieve, I am
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 wanna hear before I go
And that is that
Yours was the hardest itch to relieve, I am
Yours was the hardest itch to relieve, I am
Yours was the hardest itch to relieve, I am
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
Well, I haven't actually left yet
No, I haven't left yet
No, I haven't left yet
No, I haven't left yet, but I'm

I'm evening the score
Mm, I am cutting the umbilical cord
Curled with my teeth against my knees
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, I am
Yours was the hardest itch to relieve, I am
Yours was the hardest itch to relieve, I am
Yours was the hardest itch to relieve
