I've thought about it, hell, about a million times
It takes all my strength just to keep it calm
Well, I have to tell myself it's better just to breathe
Holding it inside only helped to do me in
Each time I close my eyes, I see another chain
It's one I can't forget, something I can not break out of
I need a second skin, something to hold me up
Can't seem to get out of this hole I've dug my soul right back in
Just to wake up tells me, hell, I must be brave
It hits me like a drug shot into my vein
But it's not as delightful, delightful of a pain
Immobilizing me, almost makes me think I'm dead
Well, I need a second skin, something to hold me tough
Can't do it on my own, sometimes, I need just a little more help
Well, I've got that chance to give every drop that's left in me
Well, I need that second skin, something I can not break out of
ย
Well, I just tell myself, "Girl, just let it breathe"
It's a calmness I'm always searching for
But the dirt it gets so heavy, it falls above my head
Seeping from under my feet, it just keeps on getting deeper
I need a second skin, something to hold me up
Can't do it on my own, sometimes I need just a little more help
Well, I've got that chance to give every drop that's left in me
I need a second skin, something I can not break free of
ย
Though no one ever said it'd be easy
Still one's left to deny the choice that comes between
Your willingness to survive
Though you know what you stand up against
A world set to deceive
You need a special strength
Yeah, I've got that second skin
Yeah, I've got that chance to give
I've got the only way that I know how to live with it
Oh, I need a second skin, something to hold me tough
I need a second skin, something I can not break out of
