Floating along down a river of waste As the world crumbles around me My stomach cries out from the taste Of what man has come to be Names and styles so overrated Like a pestilence surround me The soul that lies beneath the skin Is much more than you can see The Montagues and Capulets Let egos k** their children But picket fence can't block it out They traded love for sin The sun, the bombs, the SUVs They cast their d**h on me But SPF can't fend it off In the ground's the place to be Beneath the skin - your real face Beneath the skin - to a deeper place
Beneath the skin - your bleeding heart Beneath the skin - let the bleeding start... Vanity is your therapy As you decorate your skin Everyday - just here to play Ashamed to look within Too high on your own esteem To face your own failed dreams Living through your children's eyes The same mistakes again Beneath the skin - your real face Beneath the skin - to a deeper place Beneath the skin - your bleeding heart Beneath the skin - let the bleeding start But you drown it out Live in the "real" world You found it out Told what to feel Beneath the skin
