I know this pain will last Far beyond tomorrow's atmosphere Because this paper-thin skin of mine Keeps far more in than will ever escape I want to hide beneath these grey skies I want to hide beneath black feathers Because this paper-thin skin of mine Is just a wound away from breaking I press my heart up against the glass And shatter the world with a single heartbeat Because this paper-thin skin of mine Is just a puncture away from bleeding I want to stand beneath these parapets I want to stand beneath salvation Because this paper-thin skin of mine Is just a sunrise away from burning Pull up a chair and dream next to me Cover violet bruises from violent love Because this paper-thin skin of ours Is just a bruise away from yielding

Black Feathers
I know this pain will last Far beyond tomorrow's atmosphere Because this paper-thin skin of mine Keeps far more in than will ever escape I want to hide beneath these grey skies I want to hide beneath black feathers Because this paper-thin skin of mine Is just a wound away from breaking I press my heart up against the glass And shatter the world with a single heartbeat Because this paper-thin skin of mine Is just a puncture away from bleeding I want to stand beneath these parapets I want to stand beneath salvation Because this paper-thin skin of mine Is just a sunrise away from burning Pull up a chair and dream next to me Cover violet bruises from violent love Because this paper-thin skin of ours Is just a bruise away from yielding
