Skin

Searching for a way out Of so much pain Sometimes to hurt is better than nothing Let's live again I'm a public face with a private life You wanna get close enough to touch Weave your lies 'cos I can't hide Never touch my soul, I need that much Is my skin just a veil I'm wearing Protect me from the world (Repeat) So with this armour to cover me From tortured skies I'll burn the body - breathe poisoned wine Only laughter and forgetting Keeps my mind from the devil inside Like a circle there is no resolve A little peace is better than none Immortal The colour of night is bound to find you When last we breathe the temple starts to crumble It's only dirt and dust To fade
