Skin Game - DIIV

One afterthought on a skin game

«I took it as prescribed»

Vow do no harm, buy the cure

But first you’ll buy the disease

I can see you’ve had some struggles lately

Hey man I’ve had mine too

Fighting to get through the door

But I can’t live like this anymore

They gave us wings to fly

But then they took away the sky

Well, what you want?

«Serve me.»

Sell me to the spoon

I’m cashing in, falling out, hung me up

Strung out to please the king in metropolitan’s Sackler wing

I can help you it’s how I help myself

I can see you’ve had some struggles lately

Hey man I’ve had mine too

Fighting to get through the door

But I can’t live like this anymore

They gave us wings to fly

But then they took away the sky

I wanna be your doll

But I won’t be your dog anymore

You gave us wings to fly

But then you took away the sky

Sunken ceiling and a sideways grin

We live to use and we use to live

Crack a window

Get some life in you

Holding in coughs, hiding my head

«Everyone respects the dead»

I can help you it’s how I help myself

Sunken ceiling and a sideways grin

We live to use and we use to live

Crack a window

Get some life in me
