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
