The skin I'm in
It's hard to see, I know
This skin I'm in
We're never free
Don't you agree?
Yet another age has passed
We all must look away
From the way we are today
We must look away
On every fate
Opening eyes will see
Who does not cry?
This skin I'm in
No-one can hide
How's the world been leaving you?
The future came too late
For the ones who cannot wait
It will come too late
This skin I'm in
Down to the bone, our blood
Fit for a king
It's no surprise
There's no disguise
Maybe all we need is time
To wipe away the tears
We let fall throughout the years
You must hide your tears
Within this skin
Until the end we grow
And as we sing
We have no more to show
Now walk and say nothing
