 My Skin, it hides me I can shrink back beneath it And disappear into the shadows Of my mind. I'm fine, I tell them Like they really mean it When they say "Are you okay?" The world, it turns On and on Whether or not I'm ready to face it. You smile, and all the while I'm crying and I scream for You to hear me. But you don't Or you won't Because deep down Maybe you like to see Me suffer. Your lies, are wise The way you get Me to believe Just about anything. It burns, the words You say when you think That I'm not listening But I do, its true And every bitter word You say, becomes embedded Deep within My skin |
