Second Skin Lyrics - Singles - Gits

I've thought about it a million times 

It takes all my strength just to keep it calm 

I hove to tell myself, just let it breathe 

holding it inside will only help to do me in 

Each time I close my eyes I see another chain 

it's one I can't forget, something I can not break out of 

I need a second skin, something to hold me up 

can't seem to get out of this hole 

I've dug myself right back in 

Just to wake up tells me I must be brave 

It hits me like a drug shot into my vein 

It's not as delightful of a pain 

immobilizing me 

almost makes me think I'm dead 

I need a second skin 

something to hold me tough 

Can't do it on my own 

sometimes I need just a little more help 

I want that chance to give every drop that's left in me 

I need a second skin 

something I can not break out of 

I tell myself, just let it breathe 

It's a calmness I'm always searching for 

But the dirt it gets so heavy 

it falls above my head 

seeping from under my feet 

it just keeps on getting deeper 

I need a second skin 

something to hold me tough 

Can't do it on my own 

sometimes I need just a little more help 

I've got that chance to give every drop that's left in me 

I need a second skin 

something I cannot break free of 

Though no one ever said it'd be easy 

Still one's left to deny the choice that comes 

between your willingness to survive 

Though you're knowing what you stand up against 

a world set to deceive 

You need a special strength 

I've got that second skin 

I've got that chance to give 

I've got the only way that I know how to live with it 

I need a second skin 

something to hold me tough 

I need a second skin 

something I cannot break out of
