Skin |
Existential song, written today after exams.
Lyrics:
Do you feel like an angel, do you feel like a king?
Do you feel like you’ve finally sprouted wings?
Are you happy?
Do you flaunt yourself?
Do you love yourself and all your pretty little things?
Are you more than an animal, more than an ape?
Are you the master of a dream from which no one can escape?
Are you important?
Do you love yourself?
Do you raise yourself above everybody else?
Nothing remains
But the skin you live in
Nothing remains
But the skin you die in
Have I embarrassed you? See it for yourself.
In spite your misgivings; you come right off the shelf
Fully human
Fully plain
Never glorious, but always always vain
And you suffer, Just like everybody else
And you’re lonely
Just like everybody else
Never better, never better than yourself
And you’re holding on to something that you never really felt
Nothing remains
But the skin you live in
Nothing remains
But the skin you die in
Nothing remains
But the skin you live in
Nothing remains
But the skin you die in
It covers your face
Like pearl colored lace, smothering what you think you are inside
Are you mortal?
Stamped to the bone
Neurons firing in pretty laser shows
Are you happy?
Are you important?
Fully human.
Are you special?
Are you alone?
Are you alone?
Are you alone?
Are you alone?
Are you alone?
Can you feel it stretch? Stretch over your bones?
It tears like gossamer, it wrinkles o’er your nose
It keeps you from places you can’t go
And It keeps you from things you never know
