The Man With No Skin |
If I could crawl into a shell |
Then I would a mile away |
Things are heavy enough already |
And I really do think that’s |
The best that I can do |
Stuck here and all |
And I really do think that |
Don’t care at all |
Take a step forwards |
Don’t be afraid |
Take a step backwards |
Don’t be afraid |
So go on |
So look back |
Stuck inside a heavy shell |
Try to walk and not be pushed |
And the man with no skin |
I would not let him |
Would not let him sign off |
'Cause nobody wants to see |
A beating heart |
Or a lung |
Or a brain |
Used to get so caught up |
Used to get so wrapped up |
Now I find myself feeling |
Disillusioned and emotionless |
Like I’ve been betrayed |
This world let me down |
In a big way |
Now I feel like a dog maimed |
Picking at fleas |
Picking at fleas |
And the man with no skin |
I would not let him |
Would not let him sign off |
'Cause nobody wants to see |
A beating heart |
Or a lung |
Or a brain |
It’s hard to walk |
With broken legs |
It gets hard to breathe |
Without lungs |
It’s hard to love the world |
Without a heart |
What else should I cut out? |
Where do I start? |
And the man with no skin |
I would not let him |
Would not let him sign off |
'Cause nobody wants to see |
A beating heart |
Or a lung |
Or a brain |
Start to grow a second skin |
To keep the insides in |
This one is obviously is not thick enough |
It’s time to grow a second skin |
Keep the insides in |
And maybe get some longer and mask (?) |
And maybe get some longer and mask (?) |
And maybe get some longer and mask (?) |
