Beneath Your Skin


Keep these words, so absurd
In your mind to be observed
Come apart from the dark
Find some light left in your heart

On the brink, prone to drink
Fading faster than you think
Let it go before you know
You can't discern your friends and foes

Count these lives remaining
Raise your head as it sinks in
I don't know where we're going
I've learnt to take it on the chin

These months of hibernating
The more you say, the less you win
It's still a mystery right now
But now it lies beneath your skin

Where were you my dear?
Somewhere far away from here

Well you can save your bitter tears
Because I've found some better fears
I sure as hell won't waste these years on where we've been

Settle in, count your sins
Show your scars and then begin
Life conceals what isn't real
So don't ignore what it reveals

Count these lives remaining
Raise your head as it sinks in
I don't know where we're going
I've learnt to take it on the chin

These months of hibernating
The more you say, the less you win
It's still a mystery right now
But now it lies beneath your skin

Now it lies beneath your skin
Now it lies beneath your skin
