Skin

lyrics

hey little sister, what you know? I’m going to play with all my friends tonight. they say they’d really love to meet you, but it would be best if you just stayed inside. because you know I cant understand, and I wont so let go and board up the doors. and as you lay down to sleep, pray the lord my soul to keep away from yours. could this be all you’ve waited for, another scratch saint? just leave us your body cold and then you float away. hey father can you see me? your sheppard is buried underneath my feet. because I’ve done you wrong and stole your name. your only son has chosen to forsake you. could this be all you’ve waited for, another scratch saint? just leave us your body cold and then you float away. these gates were built, they are built to sift me from breaking in. if you could save me from my skin where would you begin? you could be the wise man or be the witness. you could cover your eyes or beg for forgiveness. if the road up ahead is paved in blood, well you could walk on a wire or you could walk among. you could be saved or you could be stealing. you could drink the wine or you could bleed it out. if this is the last, the last goodbye well you could open your arms or put up your fists and fight. could this be all you’ve waited for, another scratch saint? just leave us your body cold and then you float away. mother please forgive me, for I have sinned. your god just made this bed, but the devil tucked me in.
