Under the Skin

In your blood is a living man
Holding on with an open hand
Under the skin
In your eyes is a bad disguise
Trying to claw its way outside
Under the skin, that shadow of a man within

Oh, meet me by the back door
Before he leads the way
And we'll hollow out the grave

In your soul is a sunken hole
You keep digging to keep control
Under the skin
With all your rules and higher plan
You can't reason with a broken man
Under the skin, that feeble, crooked man within

Oh, meet me by the back door
Before he leads the way
And we'll hollow out the grave

In your heart is a living man
Only living like a dead man can
Under the skin
In our veins we're all the same
Someone's pride is another's shame
Under the skin, still a shadow of a man within

Oh, meet me by the back door
Before he leads the way
And we'll hollow out the grave
Oh, I'm waiting by the back door
Before he leads the way
And we'll hollow out the grave
