Nothing But Skin

Nothing But Skin

I put on my stinking coat again
But that so much rain would come from inside
I didn't understand
All protected me
But I couldn't protect me from this
That all of this was just a death kiss

Just one silent word and I'm whole again
You said it, you said it
Just one silent word and I'm whole again

Now look at me, now
I'm hardly moving
I scream but the walls suck my air
It's only you and me now
It's only you
I scream but the walls suck my air

I look at my arms resting on her back
They can't be mine, they look more dead then alive
And I hate that I own the ability to not get back on track
I wet her hair and they still look more dead then alive

Now look at me, now
I'm hardly moving
I scream but the walls suck my air
It's only you and me now
It's only you
I scream but the walls suck my air

To be allowed to break into a thousand pieces
In her arms and in your hand
Can't even form my lips to say Jesus
But I thank you for knowing where I'm supposed to land

People say I should eat more, boy they should see me now
I'm almost vanishing, skin so thin I can see right through
Makes you more visible inside me, you rise as I bow
Fight for every breath and breathe only you
