Skindeep

47 million rhymes Words that never seem to find The right phrase Fear and trouble be uncaged Being naked on a stage A hideaway Skin-deep If I could only reach in And turn my heart into speech and Let go of the rage I'm trying to conceal Skin-deep Mirroring my weakness Help me to believe that I can be for real With something I can feel Something I can feel Something I can feel Speech is silver, silence gold A lack of valor to unfold I suffocate To search the will but not the spirit I'd ride the wave if you would hear it Until that day Only Skin-deep If I could only reach in And turn my heart into speech and Let go of the rage I'm trying to conceal Skin-deep Mirroring my weakness Help me to believe that I can be for real With something I can feel Something I can feel Something I can feel I need to lie sometimes I need to hide sometimes But I need to try sometimes Something I can feel Something I can feel Something I can feel Something I can feel If only skin-deep
