Lyrics The Illumination

The Illumination

Underneath My Skin

Promise nothing no one but yourself,

'cause I've been dying just to live a little longer.

And I can’t sleep,

I want something of my own.

I’ll let the shore wash me out with the morning light.

When I broke away I found myself so out of reach.

Lonely eyes staring right back at me.

Promise me I’m better off, promise me I’m better off.

Just tell me I was wrong.

Just tell me that I’m not enough.

Don’t think I ever want to put this behind us.

I never want to put this behind us.

I don’t want to forget you.

No, I don’t want to forget you.

Consumed by your empty words and the thought of a better life.

Every passing second reminds me that I can’t turn back now.

When everything I say and every word I write means nothing to you,

I mean nothing to you.

If you close your eyes you’ll wake up someone new.

Surrounded by faces you swore you’ve never seen.

I said I’d never give in to the loneliness underneath my skin.

I said I’d never give in.

Keep walking through these walls that I feel in every bone.

Keep walking through these walls that we built on our own.

I don’t want to forget you.

No, I don’t want to forget you.

Just tell me I was wrong.

Just tell me that I’m not enough.
