This Skin

This skin I'm in I'll be like an alien shade of gray And I'm stuck in a body The bones made to break And driving myself insane Trying to live up to these high expectations These insecurities all Will be the death of me These insecurities This skin I'm in I've painted scars all over it To hide what's inside Can't hide, can't hide This skin I'm in I've painted scars all over it To hide what's inside Can't hide, can't hide And I'm left here Me and my fears Look in the mirror I see a piercing Stare that's not my own Like silence In loudest of places Billions of faces Lost and complacent How could this be home? This skin I'm in I've painted scars all over it To hide what's inside Can't hide, can't hide This skin I'm in I've painted scars all over it To hide what's inside Can't hide, can't hide And I'm finally letting go of my secrets I'm baring my soul for you to see it This skin I'm in I've painted scars all over it To hide what's inside Can't hide, can't hide This skin I'm in I've painted scars all over it To hide what's inside Can't hide, can't hide To hide what's inside I saw the world through veiled eyes
