To Crawl Under One's Skin - Neurosis

Isolated so long, blighted by the first frost

Longing for the warmth of human touch

Through this wall of ice I can see you

Callous only outside, from the kicking

And the beating down

Please rip them from my body, please!

Glacier growing larger

Mirror growing darker

Do you see the blue?

My forefront of consciousness

Has been ignored

The healing touch of time has abandoned me

Abandoned me!

The longing brings me near, but the fear

Keeps me inches, worlds away

Reaching through the ice at last

But you feel the frost and run

Run from me back to the secure

(You didn’t belong here anyway)

And I’m left still

Still longing

Still cold

So cold
