Second Skin

I have been silent so long

Under tightly knitted skin

Waiting to begin here

Waiting to begin

I have been bleeding so long

In this ancient second skin

Trying to begin

Everything's a warning

Everything's a sign

I could've shed this long before

And taken what was mine

(And taken what was mine)

The messangers have told me

Begun to leave their marks

Scrawled across my skin now

Burned into my heart

Now I 've been silent too long

The scars already formed

Sealed in second skin now

Locked behind my door

Everything's a warning

Everything's a sign

I could've shed this long before

And taken what was mine

(And taken what was mine)
