Skin

Focusing all of my attention on you
Shivering through my inhibitions
Listening to my sick volitions (come closer)
Voices slowing down (time stops)
Come around, crawling now
My skin, my sin, give in, give in

Every breath that I'm taking is shallower
Squeezing me tighter and drowning me out
With my own white noise
Ugly reflections are whispering nothings
That aren’t as sweet as I’d like them to be

But I can’t hear underwater
Drowning in the sea, thrashing far away
And I can’t breathe at the surface
As another wave crashes down again

Watching our bodies
Shuffle and squirm from above
In lust and I'm regretful and I'm resentful
In my devoid disgust blood’s running cold (eyes shut)
Burning bold, devil’s hold on my guilt
And shame, my guilt and shame

Every star in the sky is screaming
In fuzzy instructions
To stop my destruction of every one I love
And I'm in the dark and I'm all alone
And my lungs are empty now

But I can’t hear in the silence
Drowning out my eyes, shaking in the dark
And I can’t see in the moment
Swallowing me whole frozen in the fall

'Cause I can’t hear my reflection begging me to wait
Willing you to stay out of my greed, expectation
Sseconds moving on, breathing out alone
