Skin (Bare)

This skin, the only armor I had but it let you in
Now each scar has a secret to sing
Like all those yesterdays, wide-eyed, thrown away, crawling, and I keep falling down

This sin, like a mantle, enfolds all my suffering
Feel the claws of the demons dig in
But no amount of numb makes their voices dumb, they're calling and I can't stop them now

May be thin, but I love it
Feel the pain rise above it
We don't have to wound each other
You're my sister, I'm your brother
Open heart, open eyes, let them in
This skin so thin

These days, where's the honor in all of the wars we wage
Why do we long for the peace of our graves?
Just raise our minds above all the ash and dust
And we might find our way back to love

May be thin, but I love it
Feel the pain rise above it
We don't have to lose each other
You're my sister, I'm your brother
Open heart, open eyes, let them in
This skin so thin

May be thin, but I love it
Feel the pain rise above it
We don't have to lose each other
You're my sister, I'm your brother
Open heart, open eyes, let them in
This skin so thin
Open heart, open eyes, let them in
This skin so thin
