Beneath The Skin lyrics

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 kill their children
but picket fence can`t block it out
they traded love for sin
the sun, the bombs, the SUVs
they cast their death 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 thru 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
