This Skin

from When Morning Comes by Wakelight

/

about

A song that is not satisfied with sexy.
Written while on a binge of self-discovery and destructive relationships.

lyrics

you say you don’t know, just wait and see don’t let myself go, while you steal all of me

babe I don’t know but I’ve always believed that something for nothing is what they call free

but I’m not mad at you I’m just mad at myself for letting you see somebody else

I opened the door invited you in still you never asked for more than this

sin this skin this flesh this dress this sin this skin this flesh this dress this sin

mama says I’m beautiful and daddy says I’m his babygirl

but mama don’t make me beautiful and daddy left along time ago

I see you look at me when I walk away my sway you say it makes you wanna

it makes you wanna and I’m so beautiful

but I’m not mad at you I’m just mad at myself I knew all along I was somebody else

I opened the door invited you in still you never asked for more than this

sin this skin this flesh this dress this sin this skin this flesh this dress…

charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting it’s fleeting it’s fleeting it’s fleeting it’s fleeting…
