Under My Skin

Bob Schneider

Under my skin I'm all wet

Under my skin I'm all bloody

Under my skin my hearts lay broken

And my mind's all funny



Under my skin there's a bad day

Under my skin there's a rattlesnake

Under my skin where the infection sleeps

I bend until I break



Under my skin it's a sticky mess

Under my skin I'm turning to stone

Under my skin there's a thousand demons

But I'm always alone



Under my skin the bones howl

Under my skin the nightmare's explode

Under my skin I can't stop crying

It's a long black road



Under my skin the itch is unscratched

Under my skin I've met my match

Under my skin my dreams die unhatched

Under my skin there's always a catch



Under my skin I never surrender

Under my skin the past's in debate

Under my skin love's a curse that you lend her

Under my skin I make love to my hate



Under my skin there's never tomorrow

Under my skin I'm lost in the dark

Under my skin I'm the master of sorrow

And I swim every night with the sharks



Under my skin I'm ready to run

Under my skin there's nowhere to hide

Under my skin the world is a stranger

And I've already died



Under my skin there's a fire burning

Under my skin there's never a smile

Under my skin I'm drowning not waving

Under my skin there's only denial
