lyrics

SKIN TO BONE ©


It’s an instrument of doubt, a weapon without
The tool I need, to fail or succeed
A compromise, of everything in between

But it wears me down, the struggle, the crown
The care I put in, the grief that comes out
I try to understand, this is life

But you know, you know it scares me, when I anticipate
The first of the last, few breaths I’ll take
Afraid of, of what happens next
What should, I expect

I’m getting old, I’m feeling it
I miss the, faith that I used to know
I’m sinning and I’m, I’m winning and I
Can’t tell the, difference anymore
But I need this, and I need you
My hands are filthy, skin to bone
But I’m cleaning’ up, I’m sure enough
I just need, faith in the faith I know – I let it go

It’s the hate on my tongue, the fear in my head
A crisis in my heart, love I possess
An element of change, change is to be alive

But you know, you know it scares me, when I anticipate
The first of the last, few breaths I’ll-take
Afraid of, what happens next
What should, I expect

I’m getting old, I’m feeling it –
I miss the, faith that I use to know
I’m sinning but I’m, I’m winning and I
Can’t tell the, difference – anymore
But I need this, and I need you
My hands are filthy, skin to bone
But I’m cleaning’ up, and I’m sure enough
I just need faith in the faith I know

I know I’ve some secrets
And I’ve done some things yea, no one will ever know
It’s too far, for me to run
So far behind, So far below

I’m getting old, I’m feeling it –
I miss the, faith that I use to know
I’m sinning but I’m, I’m winning and I
Can’t tell the, difference – anymore
But I need this, and I need you
My hands are filthy, skin to bone
But I’m cleaning’ up, and I’m sure enough
I just need faith in the faith I know
