The Gits - Second Skin lyrics
rate mei've thought about it, hell, <br />
about a million times <br />
it takes all my strength <br />
just to keep me calm <br />
But i have to tell myself, it's best just to breathe <br />
holding it inside will only help to do me in! <br />
each time i close my eyes <br />
i see another chain <br />
it's one i can't forget, <br />
something i can not break out of <br />
<br />
i need a second skin, <br />
something to hold me up <br />
can't seem to get out of this hole <br />
i've dug myself right back in <br />
<br />
just to wake up tells me, hell, i must be brave <br />
it hits me like a drug <br />
shot into my vein <br />
it's not as delightful <br />
delightful of a pain <br />
immobilizin me <br />
almost makes think i'm dead <br />
i need that 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, well <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 />
<br />
i just tell myself, girl, 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 />
<br />
i need a second skin <br />
something to hold me up <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 />
<br />
though no ever said it'd be easy <br />
still one's left to deny <br />
the choice that comes between <br />
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 yeah <br />
i've got that second skin yeah <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!!
<br />
