Skin of Society

A one, two, three, four

Even dark clouds can mean home

Even sharp knives can hold you close

Even snuggles can feel like pain

Even comfort can feel strange

And it's the pieces that make a whole

And it's the spaces in between that make a home

Even monsters play in the snow

Even bullies have family they call home

Even children grow angry and mean

When home is abuse and hurt makes it hard to live in peace comfortably

And do we ever make time to change what's going on

And do we ever make the time to change what's going on underneath

The skin of our families

Even blood can taste like fame

Even pimps and rapists have mothers and lovers

Those they harm are lucky to sleep another day

Sip their tea outside in the rain

Live a life not encased by blame, shame, pain

And do we ever make time to change what's going on

And do we ever make the time to change what's going on underneath

The skin of society

They will say they love you so

They will say they won't let you go

They will say that they love you so

They will say they won't let you go

They will say that they love you so

They will say they won't let you go

And they will say that they love you so

They will say they won't let you go

And do we ever make time to change what's going on

And do we ever make the time to change what's going on underneath

The skin of society

They will say that they love you so

They will say they won't let you go

(When you know you can flow then you let it go

When you know you can flow then you let it go)

Even sunshine can mean rain

(When you know you can flow then you let it go

When you know you can flow then you let it go)

Even comfort can feel strange

(When you know you can flow then you let it go

When you know you can flow then you let it go

When you know)
