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
