The Man With No Skin

If I could crawl into a shell

Then I wouldn't mind the weight

Things are heavy enough already

And I hate to think that

The best that I can do is not care at all

And I hate to think that

I don't care at all

Take a step forwards

Don't be afraid

Take a step backwards

Don't be afraid

So go on, so look back

Stuck inside a heavy shell

Try to walk and not be pushed

And the man with no skin

They would not let him in

Would not let him sign up

Because nobody wants to see

A beating heart, or a lung, or a brain

(Hey hey)

Used to get so caught up

Used to get all wrapped up

Now I find myself feeling

Disillusioned and emotionless

Like I've been betrayed

This world let me down

In a big way

Now I feel like a dumb ape

Picking at fleas, picking at fleas

And the man with no skin

They would not let him in

Would not let him sign up

Because nobody wants to see a

Beating heart, or a lung, or a brain

It's hard to walk with broken legs

It gets hard to breathe without lungs

It's hard to love the world

Without a heart

What else should I cut out?

Where do I start?

And the man with no skin

They would not let him in

Would not let him sign up

Because nobody wants to see a

Beating heart, or a lung, or a brain

It's time to grow a second skin

To keep the insides in

Because this one is obviously

Not thick enough

It's time to grow a second skin

To keep the insides in

Or maybe get some armour

And a mask

Or maybe get some armour

And a mask
