Something moves…
I feel it again.
There’s something moving under my skin
I feel it waking, pulling me in
I close my eyes, it follows me there
I open them… there’s nobody here
My hands are cold
My breathing slows
I know this face
But I don’t know
Who I am anymore
I try to hold it down
I try to keep control
But every time I silence it
It digs a little deeper
UNDER MY SKIN
IT WON’T LET GO
DEEPER AND DEEPER
WHERE NO ONE KNOWS
I CAN’T ESCAPE
I CAN’T BREAK FREE
I’M LOSING THE LINE
BETWEEN THE SHADOW…
AND ME
Is this real?
Is this real?
Is this…
me?
I watch my face in blackened glass
Waiting for something there to crack
The eyes are mine, the stare is not
I search for everything I’ve lost
The room feels small
The air feels thin
And there it is
Moving again
Under my skin
I push it away
It comes back stronger
I bury the fear
It stays there longer
I know this feeling
I’ve been here before
And every time…
It takes a little more
UNDER MY SKIN
IT WON’T LET GO
DEEPER AND DEEPER
WHERE NO ONE KNOWS
I CAN’T ESCAPE
I CAN’T BREAK FREE
I’M LOSING THE LINE
BETWEEN THE SHADOW…
AND ME
No enemy…
No blade…
No storm outside…
Only this thing
I cannot fight
Because every place
I try to hide…
It is already there
Inside
I hold it down
It rises
I shut it out
It enters
I run from it
It follows
I fight it
I fight it
I—
CAN’T—
CONTROL—
IT!
UNDER MY SKIN
IT’S TAKING HOLD
BURNING LIKE FIRE
BUT FEELING COLD
I CAN’T ESCAPE
WHAT LIVES IN ME
I’M LOSING THE LINE
BETWEEN WHAT’S REAL…
AND WHAT I SEE
UNDER MY SKIN
IT NEVER SLEEPS
THE MORE I FIGHT
THE MORE IT REACHES DEEP
I CALL MY NAME
BUT NOTHING SPEAKS
ONLY THE SHADOW…
UNDERNEATH
It’s still there…
Under my skin.
