[Verse 1] In a city built on Cold machinery for skeletons You were lowering your eyes Only polishing your perfect dreams Fingertips were freezing But your practiced smile was light Every time you shattered You grew another fragile skin [Pre-Chorus] I can touch I can touch But there is nothing Deep inside Everyone Craves a flawless face But when the night falls Tell me who will cry [Chorus] I’m searching for a skin I’m searching for a skin Still I’m breathing through All this quiet pain Where did my real body Where did my real body Where did it try to run Please come back again (I’m searching for a skin) (Please come back again) [Verse 2] On the glassy sidewalks Only footsteps seem to glide All the parts of our hearts Lay on sale for such a cheaper price Love and hungry longing Both are just remolded goods Only memory of warmth Turned into a ghost that blocked the view [Pre-Chorus] Every smile Every smile That we multiply Pushes us away With these hands That forgot the scent of blood What am I supposed to hold Just to still be human [Chorus] I’m searching for a skin I’m searching for a skin Still I’m breathing through All this quiet pain Where did my real body Where did my real body Where did it try to run Please come back again (I’m searching for a skin) (Please come back again) [Bridge] In an old abandoned plant I could hear a fading pulse From behind a rusted door Someone’s distant crying shook the air Even if I drop my name Even if I drop my dreams Something buried in my chest Still is burning red and won’t let go [Final Chorus] I’m searching for a skin I’m searching for a skin Still I’m breathing through All this quiet pain Where did my real body Where did my real body Even if it’s cracked It is here with me I’m searching for a skin I’m searching for a skin I won’t lose the trace Of your gentle warmth (I’m searching for a skin) (Please come back again)
