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?

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 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 so 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
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 skin, if you peel away the skin
If you peel away the skin, if you peel away the skin
If you peel away the skin, if you peel away the skin
If you peel away the skin...
