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.
Soft skin
You touch me within and so I know
I can be human once again
I know your face holds something
That could consume you completely
Soft skin
You touch me once again, and somehow
It stings because I know it is the end
I hate that you're leaving
So why don't you talk to me?
You act like nothing ever happened
But it meant the world to me
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the trees
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the dark
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the heart
(These are our
These are our fallen secrets)
Soft skin
I'll Have you be near my heart
Until I feel human
Soft skin
You were never in love to begin with
So now I'm suffering
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the trees
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the leaves
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the dark
And you can't, and you can't
See the weight in the heart
(These are our
These are our fallen secrets)
Soft skin
You touch me within and so I know
I can be human once again
I know your face holds something
That could consume you completely
Soft skin
You touch me once again, and somehow
It stings because I know it is the end
I hate that you're leaving
So why don't you talk to me?
You act like nothing ever happened
But it meant the world to me
