Second skin

I have been silent so long
Under tightly knitted skin
Waiting to begin here
Waiting to begin
I have been bleeding so long
In this ancient second skin
Trying to begin here
Trying to begin
Everything's a warning
Everything's a sign
I could've shed this long before
and taken what was mine
(and taken back all that was mine)
The messangers have told me
Begun to leave their marks
Scrawled across my skin now
Burned into my heart
Now I've been silent too long
The scar's already formed
Sealed in second skin now
Locked behind my door
Everything's a warning
Everything's a sign
I could've shed this long before
and taken what was mine
(and taken back all that was mine)...
