Gits - Second Skin lyrics

rate me

I've thought about it a million times<br />

It takes all my strength just to keep it calm<br />

I hove to tell myself, just let it breathe<br />

Holding it inside will only help to do me in<br />

Each time I close my eyes I see another chain<br />

It's one I can't forget, something I can not break out of<br />

I need a second skin, something to hold me up<br />

Can't seem to get out of this hole<br />

I've dug myself right back in<br />

Just to wake up tells me I must be brave<br />

It hits me like a drug shot into my vein<br />

It's not as delightful of a pain<br />

Immobilizing me<br />

Almost makes me think I'm dead<br />

I need a second skin<br />

Something to hold me tough<br />

Can't do it on my own<br />

Sometimes I need just a little more help<br />

I want that chance to give every drop that's left in me<br />

I need a second skin<br />

Something I can not break out of<br />

I tell myself, just let it breathe<br />

It's a calmness I'm always searching for<br />

But the dirt it gets so heavy<br />

It falls above my head<br />

Seeping from under my feet<br />

It just keeps on getting deeper<br />

I need a second skin<br />

Something to hold me tough<br />

Can't do it on my own<br />

Sometimes I need just a little more help<br />

I've got that chance to give every drop that's left in me<br />

I need a second skin<br />

Something I cannot break free of<br />

Though no one ever said it'd be easy<br />

Still one's left to deny the choice that comes<br />

Between your willingness to survive<br />

Though you're knowing what you stand up against<br />

A world set to deceive<br />

You need a special strength<br />

I've got that second skin<br />

I've got that chance to give<br />

I've got the only way that I know how to live with it<br />

I need a second skin<br />

Something to hold me tough<br />

I need a second skin<br />

Something I cannot break out of
