Second Skin Lyrics

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
