[The Witness] I've seen you wallow Crack and crumble right in front of me deep in the hollow fragment of the beast you claim to be trapped in your head a vortex of inadequacy a boy is all that's left not the dragon on the tapestry [Confirmation] you claim that your sorrow would tear us apart. but I feel at home in that very same dark. [chorus] we can wear our failures like a second skin two tired saints in the wreckage we're in Though we can't fly on a broken wing we can still stand where the engines sing [The Apprentice] You've seen me spiral a tempest that you know too well until your arrival life had felt just like a padded cell the gift of a purpose is one I'll never take for granted now I'm no longer worthless neither will you be, if I'm around [chorus] we can wear our failures like a second skin Without feathers or scales, just like its always been even if the fire in your breath is gone Maybe it was in the furnace all along [The Construction] Who needs scales if you can build your own armour who needs wings if the steel flies farther who needs claws if a sword is sharper who needs strength if your pride hits harder [chorus] we can wear our failures like a second skin bleed our hearts out while the gears spin and if we have to brave this world alone it's no difference to what we've always known We can wear our failures like a second skin welding a future from the caves within with coals so hot and air so thin its in these caves that it all begins
