|
I've thought about it a million times |
|
It takes all my strength just to keep it calm |
|
I hove to tell myself, just let it breathe |
|
holding it inside will only help to do me in |
|
Each time I close my eyes I see another chain |
|
it's one I can't forget, something I can not break out of |
|
I need a second skin, something to hold me up |
|
can't seem to get out of this hole |
|
I've dug myself right back in |
|
Just to wake up tells me I must be brave |
|
It hits me like a drug shot into my vein |
|
It's not as delightful of a pain |
|
immobilizing me |
|
almost makes me think I'm dead |
|
I need a second skin |
|
something to hold me tough |
|
Can't do it on my own |
|
sometimes I need just a little more help |
|
I want that chance to give every drop that's left in me |
|
I need a second skin |
|
something I can not break out of |
|
I tell myself, just let it breathe |
|
It's a calmness I'm always searching for |
|
But the dirt it gets so heavy |
|
it falls above my head |
|
seeping from under my feet |
|
it just keeps on getting deeper |
|
I need a second skin |
|
something to hold me tough |
|
Can't do it on my own |
|
sometimes I need just a little more help |
|
I've got that chance to give every drop that's left in me |
|
I need a second skin |
|
something I cannot break free of |
|
Though no one ever said it'd be easy |
|
Still one's left to deny the choice that comes |
|
between your willingness to survive |
|
Though you're knowing what you stand up against |
|
a world set to deceive |
|
You need a special strength |
|
I've got that second skin |
|
I've got that chance to give |
|
I've got the only way that I know how to live with it |
|
I need a second skin |
|
something to hold me tough |
|
I need a second skin |
|
something I cannot break out of |
