Second Skin

[Intro – short piano motif] [Verse 1 – restrained rhythmic vocals] You show up when I close my eyes You know the shape of all my lies Every shadow that I see Looks a little more like me I changed the locks I killed the lights But every time I try to hide You're waiting somewhere inside [Pre-Chorus – melody begins] I tried to cut you out I tried to tear you free But every piece of you Is underneath my skin [Chorus – strong, memorable melody] YOU'RE MY SECOND SKIN I CAN'T PEEL YOU OFF I CAN'T LET YOU IN EVERY TIME I CUT YOU OUT YOU GROW BACK AGAIN YOU'RE MY SECOND SKIN I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU END I DON'T KNOW WHERE I BEGIN [Verse 2 – faster rhythmic rap] You know the words I never say You know the parts I hide away I hear your footsteps down the hall But there's nobody there at all Maybe you're real Maybe I'm not Maybe you're everything I forgot [Bridge – quiet, same melody stripped down] Who are you? You already know. Why do you sound like me? [Short silence] [Final Chorus – explosive] YOU'RE MY SECOND SKIN I CAN'T PEEL YOU OFF I CAN'T LET YOU IN EVERY TIME I CUT YOU OUT YOU GROW BACK AGAIN YOU'RE MY SECOND SKIN I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU END I DON'T KNOW WHERE— [Final line – quiet] ...I begin.
