Skin lyrics
by Bent Knee
Needle point dancing over pale skin
Tailspin into ecstasy that loves me like I never will
Show me how to navigate harsh relationships
That poke me, prod me, castigate a mistake I made long ago
When I come home cold and tired I hide in my room
When I come out there's a witch hunt waiting to burn
My tiny little lies pile up sky high
When I tie knots in the facts, cobwebs tear apart
Light shines on who I was in the past
And how things never last, the curse is cast
Pills swallow me whole, life left in a hole
I wanna go home
A tiny dose relieves this pressure building up
Get inside me. Warm my veins, an unrelenting lullaby
Nodding off, the world melts in a rainbow
The glow is blinding. It cripples me into a puddle on the floor
When I come home cold and tired I hide in my room
When I crawl out there's a witch hunt waiting to burn
My tiny little lies pile up sky high
When I tie knots in the facts, cobwebs tear apart
Light shines on who I was in the past
And how things never last, the curse is cast
Pills swallow me whole, life left in a hole
I wanna go home
