In Your Skin

With all you’ve been through and you ask is this real?

Not a matter of anything just how you feel

The layers in your brain like an onion peels

In a moment of humbleness I break down and kneel,

Remember my friend you can’t let them get you down

How many fools are there who wear the crown?

Feels like I just floated up on the Normandy shores

Don’t even know what to live for

Trying to hang on to hope more and more

Sorry my Dear that I seem like such a bore,

Science lies the government lies the media lies

Everything in your life is a compromise

Sometimes the truth comes as if in disguise

For some it’s too much and they get paralyzed,

Remember my friend you can’t let them get you down

How many fools are there who wear the crown?

Going in deep now for a closer look

Should have known you weren’t an open book

All of your platitudes I sadly mistook

All those promises that all came unhooked,

Wonder where that angel is who watches over me

We seem to get the opposite when we set out to be free

Is this the big reward a burial out at sea?

Seems like my life is just a sentimental memory,

Remember my friend you can’t let them get you down

How many fools are there who wear the crown?

What happens when that final verdict is sent in?

Is that the time we account for all our sins?

All my life my friend you’ve taken it on the chin

All of that pain just for living in your skin.
