Another Skin

I landed in my body for a time tonight Stretched my skin out and began to come alight Moving with a sense of comfort and ease But in a moment my agility would leave My heart's not pounding My guys aren't churning Could everyone see me evaporate again? Is it convincing when I fake presence and stand? I think I'm sliding with my back against the wall The light behind my eyes not shining at all My speech is muted My thoughts polluted The ghost that haunts my lungs pipes up again She says to find another skin Would you recognize this form, sweet friend If I could turn it outside in? I smash the mirror I'd been lost in for a while Rejoin the crowd and try too hard to crack a smile Regain my balance I can pull through the hour If I stay on my feet, I'll start to feel less dour My head now spinning These faces grinning You know, I tried to make it over to you That giant glut of bodies wouldn't let me through An endless loop of things we wish we could express A common shapelessness we can't seem to address Our brains are yearning These bodies turning The ghost that haunts my lungs pipes up again She says to find another skin Will you recognize this form, sweet friend When I can turn it outside in?
