Lyrics

Skinned

[Verse]

Skinned from within

I'm infected

Toxic, locked in

Rejected, spreading thin

Turn it all around

Diffusing scene, rearranging

Stronger than all

As my fortune sets in

[Pre-Chorus]

Twenty-five pounds

That were weighing me down

Pounds of restlessness

Had to kill the innocents

The body eats itself

From the inside out

Losing my voice

Was it worth the fucking price?

[Chorus]

Stretched to the limit

Peeling, ignite

Taking me slowly

It's close and tight

Stretched to the limit

Peeling, ignite

Taking me slowly

I'm skinned alive

[Pre-Chorus]

Twenty-five pounds

That were weighing me down

Pounds of restlessness

Had to kill the innocents

The body eats itself

From the inside out

Losing my voice

Was it worth the fucking price?

[Chorus]

Stretched to the limit

Peeling, ignite

Taking me slowly

It's close and tight

Stretched to the limit

Peeling, ignite

Taking me slowly

I'm skinned alive

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]

Stretched to the limit

Peeling, ignite

Taking me slowly

It's close and tight

Stretched to the limit

Peeling, ignite

Taking me slowly

I'm skinned alive
