My Skin Lyrics by Natalie Merchant

My Skin Lyrics

    Take a look at my body
    Look at my hands
    There's so much here that I don't understand
    Your face say these promises
    Whispered like prayers
    I don't need them

    Because I've been treated so wrong
    I've been treated so long
    As if I'm becoming untouchable
    Well, content loves the silence
    It thrives in the dark
    With fine winding tendrils
    That strangle the heart
    They say that promises sweeten the blow
    But I don't need them, no
    I don't need them

    I've been treated so wrong
    I've been treated so long
    As if I'm becoming untouchable
    I'm the slow dying flower
    In the frost killing hour
    Sweet turning sour anduntouchable

    Oh, I need the darkness
    The sweetness
    The sadness
    The weakness
    Oh, I need this
    I need a lullaby
    A kiss good night
    Angel sweet love of my life
    Oh, I need this

    I'm the slow dying flower
    In the frost killing hour
    Sweet turning sour anduntouchable
    Do you remember the way that you touched me before
    All the trembling sweetness I loved and adored
    Your face saying promised whispered like prayers
    I don't need them

    Oh, I need the darkness
    The sweetness
    The sadness
    The weakness
    Oh, I need this
    I need a lullaby
    A kiss good night
    Angel sweet love of my life
    Oh, I need this

    Well is it dark enough
    Can you see me
    Do you want me
    Can you reach me
    Oh, I'm leaving
    You better shut your mouth
    And hold your breath
    And kiss me now
    And catch your death
    Oh, I mean this
    Oh, I mean this
