Nemhain - 2010 - From The Ashes - Second Skin

I've thought about it a million times

It takes all my strength just to keep it calm

I hove to tell myself, just let it breathe

holding it inside will 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 I must be brave

It hits me like a drug shot into my vein

It's not as delightful of a pain

immobilizing me

almost makes me think I'm dead

I need a second skin

something to hold me tough

can't do it on my own

sometimes I need just a little more help

I want that chance to give every drop that's left in me

I need a second skin

something I can not break out of

I tell myself, 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 need a second skin

something to hold me tough

can't do it on my own

sometimes I need just a little more help

I've got that chance to give every drop that's left in me

I need a second skin

something I cannot break free of

Though no one ever said it/d be easy

Still one's left to deny the choice that comes

between your willingness to survive

Though you're knowing what you stand up against

a world set to deceive

You need a special strength

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

I need a second skin

something to hold me tough

I need a second skin

something I cannot break out of

In this dirty old part of the city

Where the sun refused to shine

People tell me there ain't no use in tryin'

Now my girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'

Watched his hair been turnin' grey

He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

Oh yes I know it

(Yeah!) He's been workin' so hard

(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby

(Yeah!) Every night and day

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

'cause girl, there's a better life for me and you

Now my girl you're so young and pretty

And one thing I know is true, yeah

You'll be dead before your time is due, I know it

Watch my daddy in bed a-dyin'

Watched his hair been turnin' grey, yeah

He's been workin' and slavin' his life away

I know he's been workin' so hard

(Yeah!) I've been workin' too, baby

(Yeah!) Every day baby

(Yeah!) Whoa!

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!)

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

Girl, there's a better life for me and you

Somewhere baby, somehow I know it

We gotta get out of this place

If it's the last thing we ever do

We gotta get out of this place

Girl, there's a better life for me and you

Believe me baby

I know it baby

You know it too
