Ships Have Sailed - Skin Lyrics

This skin: the only armor I had but it let you in
Now each scar has a secret to sing, like all those yesterdays
Wide eyed, thrown away, crawling, and I keep falling down
This sin: like a mantle enfolds all my suffering
Feel the claws of the demons dig in
And no amount of numb makes their voices dumb
They're calling and, I can't stop them now
It may be thin, but I love it, feel the pain, rise above it
We don't have to wound each other, you're my sister I'm your brother
Open heart, open eyes let them in, this skin so thin
These days, where's the honor in all of the wars we wage?
Why do we long for the peace of our graves?
Just raise our minds above all the ash and dust and we might find
Our way back to love
It may be thin, but I love it, feel the pain, rise above it
We don't have to lose each other, you're my sister I'm your brother
Open heart, open eyes let them in, this skin so thin
