Second Skin

歌詞

I didn't show you I was wearing a porcelain coat You didn't know me completely I didn't let you know I'd excuse myself for five minutes To rub myself up against a tree And get this second layer off of me I'm tired of living in this second skin I want to let everything in I don't want to compare myself I don't want to be someone else I tried so many new and old tricks To die and self-improve From divining with dead sticks To fallen yogi hot moves But what I found I learned from no Book up on the shelf Is to watch the thief of time And learn to trick myself I don't want to leave my brand new skin It's made of leaves, it's strong and thin I waited for it every day I wake up and it goes away Heaven on earth is quiet and it's dark Heaven on earth is daytime in a city park This apartment building floats on a humming sea Under the floorboards Under you and me I don't want to leave my brand new skin It's made of leaves, it's strong and thin I waited for it every day I wake up and it goes away I'm never gonna leave my brand new skin It's part of me, it's strong and thin I waited for it night and day I wake up and I'll stay
