Some Type Of Skin

Album: What Happened to the Heart? (2024)

  • Hit me hard where I am soft
    Should my heart reveal itself to be
    More than a muscle
    Or a fist covered in blood
    However much it feels to bleed
    It's only temporary

    We're good people and we both deserve peace
    (Peace)

    My God, it's a lot
    (I build some type of skin)
    (I've got to build some type of skin)
    My God, it's a lot
    (I build some type of skin)
    (I've got to build some type of skin)

    I guess I should build some type of skin
    And let breath be air
    And love the things I know might disappear
    And the last light of the sun (sun)
    I let it slow me down
    I'll crawl where everybody runs

    We're good people
    And we deserve peace
    It's difficult, it seems

    My God, it's a lot
    (I build some type of skin)
    (I've got to build some type of skin)
    My God, it's a lot
    (I build some type of skin)
    My God (I've got to build some type of skin)
    My God, it's a lot
    (I build some type of skin)
    (I've got to build some type of skin)
    My God, it's a lot
    (I build some type of skin)
    My God, my God (I've got to build some type of skin)

    It's a lot
    It's a lot
    My God, it's a lot
    It's a lot, a lot to me
