Poets of the Fall
Skin
[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
And I know we go deeper than skin
But what lies within is still deeper than we know

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah I know we go deeper than skin
But what lies within is still deeper than we know
[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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

[Interlude]
Without your love my life
Ain't nothing but this carnival of rust

[Chorus]
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
