Skin

<br>Once he loved her <br>Once he could <br>See her as a flower <br>The days would rise <br>And set in her eyes <br>A sweetness he`d devour <br>Slowly it took him over <br>Seeds from the darkside <br>Planted when just a boy <br>Grew wild inside him now <br>The skin between your heart and mine<br>Like sun to moon and earth to sky<br>And brains are washed in glossy lies <br>Till beautiful means perfect in our minds <br><br>Hated himself <br>All his life <br>Couldn`t own his blessings <br>Pushed aside every ray of light <br>That photographed him shining <br>Slowly he wanted more <br>Than she could ever give <br>With her he fantasized <br>About a movie star <br>The skin between your heart and mine<br>Like sun to moon and earth to sky<br>And brains are washed in glossy lies <br>Till beautiful means perfect in our minds <br><br>Slowly he went too far/ flame to the fire<br>His breath curling all the pages of a magazine <br><br>[Chorus]
