Skinwalkers

Smothered by my skin

Invited them in

They looked in my eyes and promised Id win

Fighting the compulsion to follow to grim

Lasting bitter tasting forcing down the aspirin

One for the cancer

One for the pain

One to make me live my life straight

I'll cut off the tubes if I can run away

Bleeding out the albumin chasing the last of the rays

Way down

Way down

Promise that you need me

Look into my eyes

Skinwalkers deceive me

I can't see through your disguise

Shall I read the symbols for you

Tear down the steeple for you

Sell my soul, destroy it all and fight all of the demons for you

Well now I'm bugging out

Eloping with my doubt

Does sticking round mean finding out

I'd look good six feet underground

You only wanna get your teeth in something

Work me harder til I become nothing

I don't want to live the life that you been touting

Leaving out a line of salt to keep you counting
