Second Skin Lyrics

I walk to war with this marching drum
To and fro goes the pendulum
Tick-tick-tack tick-tack emotions are stuck

Surrounded by dim happiness
I've found a black-framed tenderness
I was wearing it like my best evening dress

With her black horse she approaches him
Wrapped carefully in a second skin
Solemnly sent to the devil

This blanket is too short
It's always cold somewhere

I pour all of my love into a leaking heart
I pour all of my love into a weeping heart
It's tearing me apart

This blanket is too short
It's always cold somewhere

This blanket is too short
It's always cold somewhere

This blanket is too short
It's always cold somewhere

This blanket is too short
It's always cold somewhere

This blanket is too short
It's always cold somewhere
