Creature Skin

Ill lick my wounds and tell you I messed up

Again

Ill clear the room and say I made it up

Pretend

That everything is better than it was

Before

Leave myself sinking deep into a hole

Once more

(La la la)

(You’re not right, you’re not right, you’re not right)

Don’t hold me up to the light

(You’re not right, you’re not right,

You look like something flawed and ugly)

Don’t hold me up to the light

I’ve sewn myself up so tight

Don’t make it all untie

You’re becoming overgrown and wild

My dear

You get away with it just like a child

No fear

The mysteries of life they bring you right

To tears

Looking for love in dusty corners dark

And fierce

(La la la)

(You’re not right, you’re not right, you’re not right)

Don’t hold me up to the light

(You’re not right, you’re not right,

You look like something flawed and ugly)

Don’t hold me up to the light

I’ve sewn myself up so tight

Don’t make it all untie

Looking over shoulders isn’t wise

to do

So everything I do from now’s a start

Brand new

Ill colour in the spaces cover up

The blue

I shed my creature skin and venture out

With you

With you

With you

Don’t hold me up to the light

Don’t hold me up to the light
