Natalie Merchant - My Skin Lyrics
Take a look at my bodyLook at my handsTheres so much here that I dont understandYour face say these promisesWhispered like prayersI dont need themBecause Ive been treated so wrongIve been treated so longAs if Im becoming untouchableWell, content loves the silenceIt thrives in the darkWith fine winding tendrilsThat strangle the heartThey say that promises sweeten the blowBut I dont need them, noI dont need themIve been treated so wrongIve been treated so longAs if Im becoming untouchableIm the slow dying flowerIn the frost killing hourSweet turning sour anduntouchableOh, I need the darknessThe sweetnessThe sadnessThe weaknessOh, I need thisI need a lullabyA kiss good nightAngel sweet love of my lifeOh, I need thisIm the slow dying flowerIn the frost killing hourSweet turning sour anduntouchableDo you remember the way that you touched me beforeAll the trembling sweetness I loved and adoredYour face saying promised whispered like prayersI dont need themOh, I need the darknessThe sweetnessThe sadnessThe weaknessOh, I need thisI need a lullabyA kiss good nightAngel sweet love of my lifeOh, I need thisWell is it dark enoughCan you see meDo you want meCan you reach meOh, Im leavingYou better shut your mouthAnd hold your breathAnd kiss me nowAnd catch your deathOh, I mean thisOh, I mean this
