Skin

In the corner of your eye

I can see into your mind

A shadow beneath your smile

Something hidden deep inside

Silently you wait for someone to see you

Claw your flesh from off your bones

Face that fire on your own

Embrace the life you thought that you could never know

Can't erase the pain inside without a storm within

They left the lies like scars underneath your skin

The one your hiding in, the one you're supposed to live in

And you gaze up at the sky

As the clouds are passing by

And you wonder for a while

What it would be like to die

Silently you wish for someone to save you

Claw your flesh from off your bones

Face that fire on your own

Embrace the life you thought that you could never know

Can't erase the pain inside without a storm within

They left their lies like scars underneath your skin

The one you're hiding in, the one you're supposed to live in

But you want to be alive

As the self-loathing subsides

And you will not be denied

So you push their lies aside

Violently you burn for someone to feel you

Claw your flesh from off your bones

Face that fire on your own

Embrace the life you thought that you could never know

Can't erase the pain inside without a storm within

They left their lies like scars underneath your skin

The one your hiding in, the one you're supposed to live in
