The Skin Below Ritual Ambient

[Intro - All Female Spoken] Beneath the ash Beneath the name I found the skin That never came [Verse 1 - All Female] I shed the name they gave Left it in the dirt Something underneath Still remembers hurt [Chorus - All Female] The skin below won’t heal It sleeps but never dies I dig until it breathes I scratch out all the lies [Verse 2 - All Female] Nails break in the seam Flesh gives with a sigh What I found beneath Was never meant to die [Chorus 2 - All Female] The skin below won’t heal It sleeps but never dies I dig until it breathes I scratch out all the lies [Refrain - All Female] It waits in blood It waits in bone It waits in me When I'm alone [Bridge 1 - All Female] Blood don’t rise In this ground Only silence Pulls me down Teeth on stone Hands gone numb Nothing answers What I’ve become [Chorus - All Female] The skin below won’t heal It sleeps but never dies I dig until it breathes I scratch out all the lies The skin below won’t heal It sleeps but never dies It knows the words I said It swallows all the cries [Verse 3 - All Female] I dreamed of hollow light And woke with blood in hand Something once was holy Now buried in the sand [Bridge 2 - All Female] No light above No breath inside Just what remains When faith has died Still I dig Still I call The skin below Outlasts it all [Chorus - All Female] The skin below won’t heal It sleeps but never dies I dig until it breathes And choke on what survives [Outro - All Female] The skin below Knows my name The skin below Feels no shame The skin below Wants no peace The skin below Never leaves The skin below Knows my name The skin below Feels no shame The skin below Takes my name The skin below Stays the same [Silent End]
