[Verse 1] They came in quiet No ships, no smoke Just a smile in your face And a hand on your throat They learned our names In borrowed skin Took the warm inside And slipped right in [Pre-Chorus] First the breath Then the stare Then your shadow Wasn't there Your eyes went still But you kept talking Like somebody else Was walking [Chorus] Borrowed skin, borrowed skin They wear us thin Borrowed skin, borrowed skin Let the cold world in No invasion Just a trade Human bodies, alien shade Borrowed skin, borrowed skin We fade away (fade away) [Verse 2] You kissed your mother With чужой hands You signed your name In a stranger's plan And every town Kept counting heads But all the hearts Were already dead They don't need war They don't need fire They only need A friend, a wire [Pre-Chorus] One by one We went quiet Whole lives folding Into science Then the floor fell out Of our days And every goodbye Got frozen in place [Chorus] Borrowed skin, borrowed skin They wear us thin Borrowed skin, borrowed skin Let the cold world in No invasion Just a trade Human bodies, alien shade Borrowed skin, borrowed skin We fade away (fade away) [Bridge] And on the other side We're ice in the dark Drifting in time With a silent heart While they walk our streets With our human faces Learning to laugh In our old places [Final Chorus] Borrowed skin, borrowed skin They wear us thin Borrowed skin, borrowed skin Let the cold world in No invasion Just a trade Human bodies, alien shade Borrowed skin, borrowed skin We fade away (fade away)
