This Skin - Stitched Up Heart

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
