In MY Skin

by Viola   Feb 24, 2008


Stuck in the middle of what you wanted
And what you got as a result for trying to get it
There's no way out of this
The past won't be undone
Shaken up to the core
You feel trapped behinds locked doors
Sitting under the stars
Miles from home
How can such a big open valley
Consume your soul
And make you feel so alone
She says "I'm afraid of big spaces
'Cause they remind me the world is so large
And make me feel so small"
She says "out there, there's nobody that cares
At least here I can pretend they understand"
I'd do anything to get out of this place
Never realizing how it feels on the outside
All I really wanted was to get out
Of my own skin, my own mind
But it takes not a fool to realize
That you can run anywhere in the world
Away form here
And still you'll never get out of here
Cause this is where your thoughts took root
And your skin begun to crack
You can run anywhere else in the world, my love
But you'll never run out of your own skin
For as long as you live
