Skin lyrics

I drift away to a place, another kind of life,

take away the pain, I create my paradise.

Everything I've held has hit the wall.

What used to be yours isn't yours at all.

Falling apart and all that I'm asking,

is it a crime, am I overreacting?

Oh... he's under my skin.

Just give me something to get rid of him.

I've got a reason now to bury this alive,

another little white lie.

So what you had didn't fit among the pretty things.

Never fear, never fear - I now know where you've been.

Braids have been untied as ribbons fall away.

Leave the consequence but my tears you'll taste.

Falling apart and all that I question,

is this a dream or is this my lesson?

Oh... he's under my skin.

Just give me something to get rid of him.

I've got a reason now to bury this alive,

another little white lie.

I don't believe I'll be alright.

I don't believe I'll be okay.

I don't believe how you've thrown me away.

I do believe you didn't try.

I do blame you for every lie.

When I look in your eyes,

I don't see mine.

Oh... he's under my skin.

Just give me something to get rid of him.

I've got a reason now to bury this alive,

another little white lie.

Oh... my permission to sin.

You might have started my reckoning.

I've got a reason now to bury him alive.

Another little white lie.
