Second Skin Lyrics
I've thought about it, hell
about a million times
it takes all my strength
just to keep it calm
and i have to tell myself
it's better just to breath
holding it inside
will only help to do me in
each time i close my eyes
i see another chain
it's one i cant forget, something i cannot break out of
i need a second skin, something to hold me up
cant seem to get out of this hole i've dug my self right back in
just to wake up tells me
hell, i must be brave
it hits me like a drug
shot into my veins
its not as delightful
delightful of a pain
immobolizin me,
almost makes me think im dead
i need a second skin
something to hold me tough
cant do it on my own, sometimes i need just a little more help, well
i want that chance to give
every drop that's left in me
i need a second skin something i cannot break out of
i tell myself, girl, just let it breath
its a calmness, im always searching for
but the dirt it gets so heavy
it falls above my head
seeping from under my feet
it just keeps on getting deeper
and i need a second skin, something to hold me up
cant do it on my own sometimes i need just a little more help
yeah, i've got that chance to give
every drop thats left in me
i need that second skin, something i cannot break free of
though no one ever said i'd be easy
still one's left to deny
the choice that comes between
your willingness to survive
though your knowing what you stand up against
a world set to decieve
you need a special strength
i've got that second skin
i've got that chance to give
i've got the only way that i know how to live with it
i need a second skin, something to hold me tough
i need a second skin, something i cannot break out of
about a million times
it takes all my strength
just to keep it calm
it's better just to breath
holding it inside
will only help to do me in
i see another chain
it's one i cant forget, something i cannot break out of
i need a second skin, something to hold me up
cant seem to get out of this hole i've dug my self right back in
hell, i must be brave
it hits me like a drug
shot into my veins
its not as delightful
delightful of a pain
immobolizin me,
almost makes me think im dead
something to hold me tough
cant do it on my own, sometimes i need just a little more help, well
i want that chance to give
every drop that's left in me
i need a second skin something i cannot break out of
its a calmness, im always searching for
but the dirt it gets so heavy
it falls above my head
seeping from under my feet
it just keeps on getting deeper
cant do it on my own sometimes i need just a little more help
yeah, i've got that chance to give
every drop thats left in me
i need that second skin, something i cannot break free of
still one's left to deny

though your knowing what you stand up against

i've got that second skin
i've got that chance to give
i've got the only way that i know how to live with it
i need a second skin, something i cannot break out of

It jumped out at me when I studied the song a bit. She speaks of desperately wanting a second skin, which is probably the aid of another person or a stronger will. Then at the end it sounds like she was speaking of being a second skin for someone else. "I've Got that Chance to Give" Its like, I'll be your anchor...but I know I need someone to help hold me down as well. The way Mia sang the song really got that frustration across. Waking up and knowing you have to face the same crap. You know its overwhelming you and you know if you're gonna survive you need to get stronger. With or without the help of another. Damn...good song.
this is an awesome song made so by mia's voice. the world lost great talent when she was murdered.
You could say the same thing about almost anything she ever recorded...
mia is beauty..
