Lyrics
Old Skin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
when I come in and I'm tired
and I've forgotten myself
it's like I'm still wired
to the outside
and I put up walls a little each day
to give myself space
when everyday I'm losing sense
and I'm losing my taste
THEN YOU CHANGE ALL THAT
JUST BY WALKING IN
YOU TAKE THE KNIVES OUT OF MY BACK
AND PEEL AWAY MY OLD SKIN
when I come in from a long day
and the world won't stop
and it won't stop spinning
til I get off
try to find something
to hold myself up
when in everyway I'm losing strength
a little each day
THEN YOU CHANGE ALL THAT
JUST BY WALKING IN
YOU TAKE THE KNIVES OUT OF MY BACK
PEEL AWAY MY OLD SKIN
THEN YOU CHANGE ALL THAT
JUST BY WALKING IN
when it gets dark at four
and the day gives up
and feels like I've been dragged thru a graveyard
and I'm stuck here in this tiny box
with the lid nailed on
when everyday disappears
but they all feel long
THEN YOU CHANGE ALL THAT
JUST BY WALKING IN
YOU TAKE THE KNIVES OUT OF MY BACK
PEEL AWAY MY OLD SKIN
THEN YOU CHANGE ALL THAT
JUST BY WALKING IN
