Skin

I used to think by now I'd feel more in control
There's things that I thought I'd grow into I still don't know
And I can feel so lonely in a crowded room
Now "stay here" starts to sound a lot like "I love you"
And good things have to end, I guess
The credits roll, I'm sad again
Do I know who I am if when it stops I'm lost?

Think I'm back in the emptiness
Wearing somebody else's skin
Still I try to be whatever you desire
Now they're turning on all the lights
Who am I without a disguise?
I look at me and don't even recognize her

I can't describe her
I don't recognize her (I don't recognize her, I don't recognize her)
And every year I age I feel like sand slips through
My fingers and you'll notice all the nails are chewed
I love all of my friends, I hope they love me back
But I've not been myself, I think they noticed that
And the darkness never lessens, I guess
But I can't help feeling sad again
Is anybody listening when I scream out?

Think I'm back in the emptiness
Wearing somebody else's skin
Still I try to be whatever you desire
Now they're turning on all the lights
Who am I without a disguise?
I look at me and don't even recognize her

I can't describe her
I don't recognize her

Peel my skin to prove
That it's real and I'm still myself
In the mirror in the bathroom
I don't recognize her
No, it's mine to lose
If I don't even know myself
In the mirror in the bathroom
I don't recognize her

I don't recognize her
I don't recognize her
