Skin Lyrics

Ephraim Lewis Skin

SKIN:


Searching for a way out


of so much pain


sometimes to hurt is better than nothing


Let's live again





I'm a public face with a private life


You wanna get close enough to touch


Weave your lies 'cos I can't hide


Never touch my soul, I need that much





Chorus:


Is my skin just a veil I'm wearing


Protect me from the world


(repeat)





So with this armour to cover me


From tortured skies


I'll burn the body - breathe poisoned wine


Only laughter and forgetting


keeps my mind from the devil inside


Like a circle there is no resolve


A little peace is better than none





Chorus





Immortal


The colour of night is bound to find you


When last we breathe the temple starts to crumble


It's only dirt and dust





Chorus to fade
