Skin On Skin

Everything’s black
The fear is so thrilling
I’m guided by your swing
Blood’s running down my back

Neck is so thin
A vulnerable subject
A dangerous aspect
Feels better when it’s skin on skin

Take a good look
This body’s your vessel
I’m waiting for you, still
To savor the sway you took

So kiss me hard
Harder than last time
It’s always on my mind
Your soul has me shivered and scarred

Somebody to hurt me
Feels better when it’s skin on skin
Cut me up and carve it in
Feels better when it’s skin on skin

Choke me with grace
It’s keeping me down again
I’ll figure it out when
I’m walking a strange new pace

So hold my head
Let my mind wander off now
I’ll figure it out while
I’m counting the tears I’ve shed

Somebody to hurt me
Feels better when it’s skin on skin
Cut me up and carve it in
Feels better when it’s skin on skin
