My Own Skin

from Solace by Absence of Truth

/

lyrics

Inside my own skin
These chains bar me, keep me in
I am not who I see in the mirror
That black face who refuses to appear

If I could change everything
Slip into another, wouldn't fucking do it
This is my life, this is my own
So take it away if this body can't be my home

Get out of my head
You don't deserve to share the same space
"It's all my fault, it'll pass in the end"
You wouldn't care if it passes when I'm dead

Well look at the sparrows fly
As they fall from this bridge

I take off my own skin, see what lies inside
I'm not surprised at the cracks and burns that I never wanted to hide

And the illusion begins to break
I don't know how much longer I can fake

Inside my own skin
These chains bar me, keep me in
I am not who I see in the mirror
That black face who refuses to appear

Looking back at myself
The silhouette of self-defeat
Crack the mirror, it stares me wrongly
The mirror is not who I am

God, what the fuck would you think
If I told you it hurt me inside
I've said this a million times before
Ignore it until I'm dead

All your fault
All my fault
It's all your fault
It's all my fault

It's not enough to say things hurt

I've said this before, I'll say it again
Pay attention to me
It's not enough to say things hurt
Beneath my own skin
