Skin Lyrics

Skin lyrics

Once he loved her 

Once he could 

See her as a flower 

The days would rise 

And set in her eyes 

A sweetness he'd devour 

Slowly it took him over 

Seeds from the darkside 

Planted when just a boy 

Grew wild inside him now 

The skin between your heart and mine

Like sun to moon and earth to sky

And brains are washed in glossy lies 

Till beautiful means perfect in our minds 



Hated himself 

All his life 

Couldn't own his blessings 

Pushed aside every ray of light 

That photographed him shining 

Slowly he wanted more 

Than she could ever give 

With her he fantasized 

About a movie star 

The skin between your heart and mine

Like sun to moon and earth to sky

And brains are washed in glossy lies 

Till beautiful means perfect in our minds 



Slowly he went too far/ flame to the fire

His breath curling all the pages of a magazine 



[Chorus]
