Under My Skin

Lines blurred the depths of impractical All of your tactics have held me accountable For not just the things that I did but the things you did Endless, infinite fractal Don’t know the things that I know that you lack All of the sun and the clouds and the storms you hid Thought that you could make me spin? Thought that you could make me lost? I know you thought you would win But I’m alive I can see the ghost within Scarred and damaged, where’s it been? I’m broken, shaken, take it in ‘Cause I’m alive under your skin. Criss cross, through every cell in my Shattered and battered and ripped apart dry mind Labyrinth lullaby, here I come again Escaped through cracks in your fingers I’m Drowned again by the lock, “Once dry, reapply” Sound of the nightingale in a cave screaming “Amen” Nightmares, overgrown images Spiral through golden and silver and crimson Deepest wounds, there’s blood on my shoes and your hands Can’t break through anything, all of this Smallest, painful, shivering unrest I’ll go until each path inside you ran ‘Cause I’m alive under your skin.
