My Skin (LP Ver.) - Natalie Merchant
Take a look at my body
look at my hands
There's so much here
that I don't understand
Your face saving promises
whisper like prayers
And I don't need them
'Cause I've been treated
so wrong I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable
Well contempt loves the silence
it thrives in the dark
The fine winding tendrils
that strangle the heart
They say that promises
sweeten the blow
But I don't need them
no I don't need them
I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable
I'm a slow dying flower
in the frost killing hour
Sweet turning sour and untouchable

Oh I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh I need this
Need a lullaby
A kiss goodnight
Angel sweet love of my life
Oh I need this
I'm a slow dying
flower frost killing hour
The sweet turning sour
and untouchable
Do you remember the way
that you touched me before
All the trembling sweetness
I loved and adored
Your face saving promises
whispered like prayers
I don't need them
I need the darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh I need this
I need a lullaby
A kiss goodnight
Angel sweet love of my life
Oh I need this
Well is it dark enough
Can you see me
Do you want me
Can you reach me
Or I'm leaving
Then you shut your mouth
And hold your breath
You kiss me now
You catch your death
Oh I mean this

Oh I mean this
