Skin of the Earth (Acoustic)
I was dropped here
Just writhing skin
Wet and cold
Outside and in
But long before
I was forged in fire
In the day's indifference
And in the night's desire
I'm the clay, I'm the porcelain
I'm the air, I'm the nitrogen
Consequence and the origin
And so are you
What worthless sounds
Cross my teeth
Turning endless valleys
In to dead end streets
Stampede of flesh
Into a single herd
Infinity
Into a single word
But it's mass and movement
It can't be explained
It's like the book you gave me
In the morning rain
That said the skin of the earth
Aint got no name
And neither do you
And I can't help
But noticing
My goddamn lenses
Can't stop refocusing
And the column of time
It's towering
And no matter the hour
It devours me
What it was, what it shall be
It's as much a science as a prophecy
But neither ever meant that much to me
What's it to you
Just writhing skin
Wet and cold
Outside and in
But long before
I was forged in fire
In the day's indifference
And in the night's desire
I'm the clay, I'm the porcelain
I'm the air, I'm the nitrogen
Consequence and the origin
And so are you
What worthless sounds
Cross my teeth
Turning endless valleys
In to dead end streets
Stampede of flesh
Into a single herd
Infinity
Into a single word
But it's mass and movement
It can't be explained
It's like the book you gave me
In the morning rain
That said the skin of the earth
Aint got no name
And neither do you
And I can't help
But noticing
My goddamn lenses
Can't stop refocusing
And the column of time
It's towering
And no matter the hour
It devours me
What it was, what it shall be
It's as much a science as a prophecy
But neither ever meant that much to me
What's it to you
