The Skin Thief

There's a house on a hill with a thief inside
And he's looking for a coat that'll fit just right
Why won't you let me try them on?
Why won't you let me try them on?

Childhood
I'm always thinking about childhood

It happened again
I can't remember the last thing I did
Blood is on my hands
Screams are ringing in my ears
And I'm covered in skin

Blanket me
In this epidermal epiphany
This is my fate
I am the skin thief

There's a house on a hill where a thief outside
In a brand new coat and it fits just right
You never would let me try them on
You never let me try them on

Childhood
God damn you, childhood

It's happening now
But I'll never remember the screams or the howls
Death is flashing in my eyes
And I'm covered in skin

Blanket me
In this epidermal epiphany
This is my fate
I am the skin thief

I was but a boy
Walking alone in the snow with no coat
Mother said no
(Mother said no)

And that's when I froze
I just wanted clothes
Mother never gave in
I just needed a coat
Now I make them from skin
This has become my life
I am the skin thief

Blanket me
In this epidermal epiphany
This is your face
I am the skin thief

Oh, it tortures me
Just one look in my eyes and you will see
I laugh at my fate
But I'm still the skin thief
