Pulling Back The 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.
No, I don't want you back, but I don't want you with him
No, I don't love you still (I hate him so though)
Guess I'm off the hook if you're not my victim
Must be something else that's in my skin now
I hate it
This doesn't feel like getting well (I hate it so though)
(I hate it)
This doesn't feel like anything good (I hate it so)
I'm pulling back the skin here
I'm taking out the pins here
I'm finding that you're still in here
I'm pulling back the skin, yeah yeah
Begin pulling back the skin
I would like to see you only if to see you cry
I would like to kiss you only to kiss you goodbye
At best I've bad intentions, and at worst I'd rather die
Than see you with another guy
I'm pulling back the skin here
I'm taking out the pins here
I'm finding that you're still in here
I'm pulling back the skin, yeah yeah
I'm pulling back the skin here
I'm taking out the pins here
I'm finding that you're still in here
I'm pulling back the skin
And in pulling back the skin
I appear to have come undone
But I broke you first
Yeah, I broke you worse
And I appear to be the jealous one
But I broke you first
Am I broken worse?
And I remember everything, oh, yes
(Tears in your eyes) I have this dream
(Wind in your hair) where I'm bleeding
(Cold in the water) we're in your car
(Warm in the flow of blood) start to panic
(I remember everything, oh, yes)
Waves are crashing, over head
The stars are shining, you left me for dead
(Tears in your eyes) down by the shore
(Wind in your hair, cold in the water)
I told you that I did not love you anymore
(Warm in the flow of blood) there're tears in your eyes
(I remember everything, oh, yes)
How I've tried to let you go
The words I said were lies, I did not know
Get in the car and drive
See if what's mine is mine
See if the dead can rise
I'm washed away
