Skin Deep

INSTRUMENTAL

You're locked up in your shelter
A place where you hide from the world
But when the light hits the stage
You're not that same little girl
People know what you show them
They never see the real you
They'd get the shock of their lives
If they saw just an ounce of truth

I don't understand why you play the games you do
You know that feeling will grow and eventually catch up with you

Can't you see that it's only skin deep
What you and me have
It's just a matter of time before your web will unwind
And you'll see who you are

You're the highpoint at parties
Conversation always turns to you
With your false smile flashing
You bullshit your way right through
Your friends don't stop calling
The phone never seems to hush
And on life's rollercoaster
Hell, too much just ain't enough

You're breaking hearts while you're sleeping in your queen size bed
And when reason raises voice, you miss every word that she says

Can't you see that it's only skin deep
What you and they have
It's just a matter of time before your web will unwind
And we'll see who you are
You can't live your life behind a curtain of smiles
While you're weeping on the inside
Is it maybe 'cause you're scared of what you might find
If you opened your eyes
INSTRUMENTAL

Can't you see...
INSTRUMENTAL
It's only skin deep
INSTRUMENTAL CONTINUES

Can't you see that it's only skin deep
What you and me have
It's just a matter of time before your web will unwind
And we'll see who you are
You can't live your life behind a curtain of smiles
While you're weeping on the inside
Oh it's just a matter of time
