Second Skin

I've thought about it hell, about a million times. It takes all my strength just to keep it calm. But I'll have to tell myself, it's better just to breathe. Holding it inside, only help to do me in. Each time I close my eyes, I see another chain. It's one I can't forget, something I can not break out of. I need a second skin, something to hold me up. Can't seem to get out of this hole I've dug myself right back in. Just to wake up tells me, hell I must be brave. It hits me like a drug, shot into my veins. But it's not as delightful, delightful of a pain. Immobilizing me, Almost makes me think I'm dead. But I'll need a second skin, Something to hold me tough. Can't do it on my own, Sometimes I need just a little more help well. I've got that chance to give, every drop that's left in me. But I'll need that second skin, Something I can not break out of. But I'll just tell myself girl, just let it breathe. It's a calmness, I'm always searching for. But the dirt it gets so heavy, It falls above my head. Seeping from under my feet, It just keeps on getting deeper. I'll need a second skin, Something to hold me up. Can't do it on my own, Sometimes I need just a little more help well. I've got that chance to give, every drop that's left in me. But I'll need that second skin Something I cannot break free of. Though no one ever said it'd be easy. Still one's left to deny. The choice that comes between, Your willingness to survive. Now you're know what you stand up against, A world set to deceive. You need a special strength yeah. I've got that second skin. I've got that chance to give. I've got the only way that I know how to live with it. But I'll need that second skin, Something to hold me tough. I'll need a second skin, Something I can not break out of.
