Skin

This is someone else's story
Someone that I never knew
This is someone else's body
Am I getting through to you?
If you peel away the armor
Is something underneath
If you look below for hidden treasure
Underneath another layer
Are you hiding underneath the skin?

(Peel away the skin, is there anybody there)
If you peel away the skin, is there anybody there
If you peel away the armor, is it too late to begin
Is there anybody hiding if you peel away the skin

Now a spark has passed between us now
A momentary recognition
Something lost and something gained and
Something shared that feels strange
Something cold that will not go away

There's a heart as cold as ice
In a vault that's made of stone
Over years the walls got higher
Over years the walls have grown
Is there anybody in there
In their self-inflicted tomb
If you peel away the layers
Is there someone in this room?

If you peel away the skin
If you peel away the skin

This is someone else's story
Someone that I never knew
This is someone else's body
Am I getting through to you?
If you peel away the layers
Is there anybody there
If you peel away the armor
Is something underneath
If you look below for hidden treasure
Underneath another layer
Are you hiding underneath the skin?

(Peel away the skin, is there anybody there)
If you peel away the skin, is there anybody there
If you peel away the skin, is there anybody there
If you peel away the skin
(If you peel away the skin, is there anybody there)
If you peel away the skin
(If you peel away the skin, is there anybody there)
If you peel away the skin
(If you peel away the skin, is there anybody there)
If you peel away the skin
(If you peel away the skin, is there anybody there)
If you peel away the skin
(If you peel away the skin, if you peel away the skin)
