Underneath This Skin

Underneath this skin My blood is pumpin' There's a longing deep within A velvet red army Marching on there's a battle to win Underneath this skin There's a door wide open Waiting for love to walk in It was closed before But not anymore Underneath this skin All the songs I've sung All the wars I have won They linger within They linger within me All the times I've tried All the tears I've tried to hide They linger within They linger inside me Underneath this skin I'm hiding the scars that I don't want you to see I'm learning to dance with The ghosts that won't let me be Underneath this skin There's a child with a butterfly net Catching dreams She was scared before But not anymore Underneath this skin All the songs I've sung All the wars I have won They linger within They linger within me All the times I've tried All the tears I've tried to hide They linger within They linger inside me I know It's easy To wear a mask, put on a show The hard part is letting go All the songs I've sung All the wars I have won They linger within They linger inside me All the times I've tried All the tears I've tried to hide They linger within They linger inside me Underneath this skin
