The Man With No Skin

If I could crawl into a shell

Then I would a mile away

Things are heavy enough already

And I really do think that's

The best that I can do

Stuck here and all

And I really do think that

Don't care at all

Take a step forwards

Don't be afraid

Take a step backwards

Don't be afraid

So go on

So look back

Stuck inside a heavy shell

Try to walk and not be pushed

And the man with no skin

I would not let him

Would not let him sign off

'Cause nobody wants to see

A beating heart

Or a lung

Or a brain

Used to get so caught up

Used to get so wrapped up

Now I find myself feeling

Disillusioned and emotionless

Like I've been betrayed

This world let me down

In a big way

Now I feel like a dog maimed

Picking at fleas

Picking at fleas

And the man with no skin

I would not let him

Would not let him sign off

'Cause nobody wants to see

A beating heart

Or a lung

Or a brain

It's hard to walk

With broken legs

It gets hard to breathe

Without lungs

It's hard to love the world

Without a heart

What else should I cut out?

Where do I start?

And the man with no skin

I would not let him

Would not let him sign off

'Cause nobody wants to see

A beating heart

Or a lung

Or a brain

Start to grow a second skin

To keep the insides in

This one is obviously is not thick enough

It's time to grow a second skin

Keep the insides in

And maybe get some longer and mask(?)

And maybe get some longer and mask(?)

And maybe get some longer and mask(?)
