Skin - Bent Knee

Needle point dancing over pale skin

Tailspin into ecstasy that loves me like I never will

Show me how to navigate harsh relationships

That poke me, prod me, castigate a mistake I made long ago

When I come home cold and tired I hide in my room

When I come out there’s a witch hunt waiting to burn

My tiny little lies pile up sky high

When I tie knots in the facts, cobwebs tear apart

Light shines on who I was in the past

And how things never last, the curse is cast

Pills swallow me whole, life left in a hole

I wanna go home

A tiny dose relieves this pressure building up

Get inside me.

Warm my veins, an unrelenting lullaby

Nodding off, the world melts in a rainbow

The glow is blinding.

It cripples me into a puddle on the floor

When I come home cold and tired I hide in my room

When I crawl out there’s a witch hunt waiting to burn

My tiny little lies pile up sky high

When I tie knots in the facts, cobwebs tear apart

Light shines on who I was in the past

And how things never last, the curse is cast

Pills swallow me whole, life left in a hole

I wanna go home
