Second Skin Songtext

von Widespread Panic

This is the season
These are the waking days
Throw off your wet sheets
Step into the soft parade

Hollowed and glisten
Like sweat on a moving train
Baby, listen, we're about to be born again

Come down, this is your second skin
Surround, oh, this is your second skin
This is the love inside
These are your fears you hide away

Maybe it's a burden
Maybe it's nature's gift
They stretch and they burn
All the colors you're working with

This is a cleaning
These are the shapes we've taken in
Real life is our dreaming
This is our second skin

Come down, this is your second skin
Surround, oh, this is your second skin
This is the love inside
These are your fears and pride today

This is just another story
Whisper the walk you walk
Magic and glory
This is just flesh from talk

This is a moment
This is the time to choose
This is your hour
Nothing but skin to lose

Come down, this is your second skin
Surround, this is your second skin
This is the love inside
These are your fears you hide away

Come down, this is your second skin
Surround, this is your second skin
This is the love inside
These are your fears, your pride today
