This Skin

(álbum: Darkness - 2020)

This skin I'm in

I'll be like an alien shade of gray
And I'm stuck in a body
The bones made to break
And driving myself insane
Trying to live up to these high expectations

These insecurities all
Will be the death of me
These insecurities

This skin I'm in
I've painted scars all over it
To hide what's inside
Can't hide, can't hide
This skin I'm in
I've painted scars all over it
To hide what's inside
Can't hide, can't hide

And I'm left here
Me and my fears
Look in the mirror
I see a piercing
Stare that's not my own

Like silence
In loudest of places
Billions of faces
Lost and complacent
How could this be home?

This skin I'm in
I've painted scars all over it
To hide what's inside
Can't hide, can't hide
This skin I'm in
I've painted scars all over it
To hide what's inside
Can't hide, can't hide

And I'm finally letting go of my secrets
I'm baring my soul for you to see it

This skin I'm in
I've painted scars all over it
To hide what's inside
Can't hide, can't hide
This skin I'm in
I've painted scars all over it
To hide what's inside
Can't hide, can't hide
To hide what's inside
I saw the world through veiled eyes
