lyrics

A kind sun shone,
On a storm-worn crow.
Ceased the winds to blow,
Thawed all the snow.
Spilled the illness cure,
On skin I feel no more.

Anxious and restless a while,
Try to balance my biles.
Failed to teach the child,
To stay in when the rain falls wild.
That now falls numb and sore,
On skin I feel no more.

I hear the death bells chime,
And my hands in chains and twine.
The trial counts my crimes,
And I dream of highway signs,
As tar fills every pore,
Of skin I feel no more.

Check my whim and wits,
In rain and wind and mist.
The path I least resist,
Gave way to wilderness.
I lay down lost and worn,
In skin I feel no more.

Through early April’s bloom,
A soft and kind wind moves.
An endless poison spews
From a trove of battle-born wounds
That lay beaten and torn,
on skin I feel no more.

Decide when to chase,
And decide when to stay.
When I chose to take, You chose to give away.
Now the last debt left to score,
Is this skin I feel no more.
Left too long to wait
For things that never came.
If this is a trade,
Then it’s one I’ll have to take.
And blood runs cool and pure
Down skin I feel no more.
And blood runs cool and pure
Down skin I feel no more.
