Etched Deep - Alice Bag

Tried to blur the truth

And it’s only sharper

Some tales will fade with time

And some will grow darker

No, you can’t erase the markings

Try as you might

All that rubbing at the pages

Won’t make them white

You think you’re mighty

But I think you’re weak

Hiding the black sheep

Hiding the black sheep

You think you’re mighty

But I think you’re weak

Hiding the black sheep

Hiding the black sheep

Go on, work the surface

But it’s etched deep

Go on, work the surface

But it’s etched deep

Go on, work the surface

You’ll just work the surface

Go on, work the surface

But it’s etched deep

Etched deep

I’m going to write my story

In permanent ink

It doesn’t really matter

What you think

No, you can’t erase the markings

Try as you might

All that rubbing at the pages

Won’t make them white

You think you’re mighty

But I think you’re weak

Hiding the black sheep (oh ah oh)

Hiding the black sheep (oh ah oh)

You think you’re mighty

But I think you’re weak

Hiding the black sheep (oh ah oh)

Hiding the black sheep (oh ah oh)

Go on, work the surface

But it’s etched deep (deep)

Go on, work the surface

But it’s etched deep (deep)

Go on, work the surface

You’ll just work the surface

Go on, work the surface

But it’s etched deep

Etched deep
