Skin Game

One afterthought on a skin game

'I took it as prescribed'

Vow do no harm

Buy the cure

But first you buy

The disease

I can see you've had some struggles lately

Hey man, I've had mine too

Fighting to get through the door

But I can't live like this anymore

They gave us wings to fly

But then they took away the sky

Well, what you want?

'Serve me'

Sell me to the spoon

I'm cashing in

Falling out

Tear me down

Hang me up

Strung out to please the King

In Metropolitan's Sackler wing

I can help you

It's how I help myself

I can see you've had some struggles lately

Hey man, I've had mine too

Fighting to get through the door

But I can't live like this anymore

They gave us wings to fly

But then they took away the sky

I wanna be your doll

But I won't be your dog anymore

You gave us wings to fly

But then you took away the sky

Sunken ceiling and a sideways grin

We lived to use and and we used to live

Crack a window

Get some life in you

Holding in coughs, hiding my head

"Everybody respects the dead"

I can help you

It's how I help myself

Sunken ceiling and a sideways grin

We lived to use, we used to live

Crack a window

Get some life in me
