Save My Skin

Rainer Maria

i'll find a way to save my skin

that precious way it holds me in

reminds you of holy days you once believed in

please don't stop

there's something new

stirring up the elements under the surface

the first thing i want to do

is to overcome my temperament

let the arrow find its purpose

there is the eloquence

and there is the difference

between what is said

and what is never said

the first thing i want to do

is to champion the tenderness i once believed in

please don't stop

tried to be a materialist

'til i was treated like simple flesh

tried to mention all my sins

but i didn't know where to begin

should i forget them?

or should i let them begin again?
