Skin - Poets Of The Fall

We made ourselves a home out of our dreams

Brought with us this love now bittersweet

And maybe I could say now that I always thought of you

How you've run to walk with me your whole life through

And I know we go deeper than skin, but what lies within is still deeper than we know

And for all this pantomime, you should see the state I'm in

I couldn't heal myself with time alone.

I have you tattooed on my skin

This house is full of stories we both told

These rooms, their very stage where they'd unfold

These walls, they whisper secrets and memories thereof

But this door no longer leads us to that love

Yeah I know we go deeper than skin, but what lies within is still deeper than we know

And for all this pantomime, you should see the state I'm in

I couldn't heal myself with time alone.

I have you tattooed on my skin

All I ever wanted was to hold you.

What can I do now to make things new?

I ain't trying to write you into a song, cos you're too sacred and I would feel wrong

But what irony life holds, I was finally ready to meet you half way, you turned and walked away

And for all this pantomime, you should see the state I'm in

I couldn't heal myself with time alone.

I have you tattooed on my skin
