Beneath the Skin


Does anyone read between the lines?

Do you want to know what's beneath my skin?

The ocean is deep beyond the sun

Inside all saints there lies the sin.


You think you know-You think you see

The picture that you paint of me

You hear my words roll from my lips

But do you hear what I'm saying?


Does anyone look beneath the shell

Would you care to know who I really am

Or would you prefer to live in your own head

To create your own liars scam?


Perhaps someday you'll get over you

Read between the lines-reach beneath the skin

To see the person I really am

Where the outside reflects what lies within.


You think you know-You think you see

The picture that you paint of me

You hear my words roll from my lips

But do you hear what I'm saying?
