Second Skin (2024 Remaster)

I've thought about it, hell, about a million times It takes all my strength just to keep it calm But I'll have to tell myself, it's better just to breathe Holding it inside, 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, hell, I must be brave It hits me like a drug, shot into my veins But it's not as delightful, delightful of a pain Immobilizing me Almost makes me think I'm dead But I'll need a second skin Something to hold me tough Can't do it on my own Sometimes I need just a little more help, well I've got that chance to give, every drop that's left in me But I'll need that second skin Something I can not break out of But I'll just tell myself, girl, 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'll need a second skin Something to hold me up Can't do it on my own Sometimes I need just a little more help, well I've got that chance to give, every drop that's left in me But I'll need that second skin Something I cannot break free off Though no one ever said it'd be easy Still one's left to deny The choice that comes between Your willingness to survive Now you know what you stand up against A world set to deceive You need a special strength, yeah 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 But I'll need that second skin Something to hold me tough I'll need a second skin Something I can not break out of
