I am bare Just skin against skin Raw and beautiful So soft and smooth And easily scared Be careful with this skin It's wrapped around my thoughts Like a turtle's shell My heart is hidden beneath Just in knifes reach It bleeds and bleeds Blood thick and bright My skin is soft Yet also scared From careless love Of a time past The scars are faded Faded scars can take a lifetime A lifetime of pain Of healing To finally fade away into the background Barely noticed So be careful with this skin Skin I'll let you caress Caress it slowly Gently Lovingly My skin knows all too well A fast hand The sting of a blade And the wet sticky feel Of blood It's time this skin knows a caress The warmth of a hug The tenderness of love

Skin
I am bare Just skin against skin Raw and beautiful So soft and smooth And easily scared Be careful with this skin It's wrapped around my thoughts Like a turtle's shell My heart is hidden beneath Just in knifes reach It bleeds and bleeds Blood thick and bright My skin is soft Yet also scared From careless love Of a time past The scars are faded Faded scars can take a lifetime A lifetime of pain Of healing To finally fade away into the background Barely noticed So be careful with this skin Skin I'll let you caress Caress it slowly Gently Lovingly My skin knows all too well A fast hand The sting of a blade And the wet sticky feel Of blood It's time this skin knows a caress The warmth of a hug The tenderness of love
