Skin Lyrics

This skin: the only armor I had but it let you in

Now each scar has a secret to sing, like all those yesterdays

Wide eyed, thrown away, crawling, and I keep falling down

This sin: like a mantle enfolds all my suffering

Feel the claws of the demons dig in

And no amount of numb makes their voices dumb

They're calling and, I can't stop them now

It may be thin, but I love it, feel the pain, rise above it

We don't have to wound each other, you're my sister I'm your brother

Open heart, open eyes let them in, this skin so thin

These days, where's the honor in all of the wars we wage?

Why do we long for the peace of our graves?

Just raise our minds above all the ash and dust and we might find

Our way back to love

It may be thin, but I love it, feel the pain, rise above it

We don't have to lose each other, you're my sister I'm your brother

Open heart, open eyes let them in, this skin so thin
