SECOND SKIN

Intro

Verse 1 I learned early how to look alright When everything went wrong How to make a joke at funerals How to keep the daylight on Got a face for bad decisions Got a voice that never shakes I can stand there looking bulletproof While something underneath me breaks Wear it long enough Wear it thin One day you forget Where it ends and you begin

Hook Second skin Second skin I don't know where I end And it begins Second skin Fits me better every year Keeps the whole world out Keeps nobody in Second skin Second skin I wore it just to survive Now I'm trying to remember What I felt like underneath

Verse 2 She once put her hand against me Said, “You never let me through” I said, “Baby, I'm right here” She said, “That's exactly what you do” I laughed like it was nothing She cried like she was done Funny how the armor saves you Then survives everyone Take off the boots Take off the coat Take off the smile Take off the joke What's left? Second skin Second skin I don't know where I end And it begins Second skin Kept me standing all these years Kept the whole world out Now there's nobody here Second skin Second skin Maybe strength ain't staying sealed Maybe being hard to hurt Ain't the same as being healed
