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
