When the skin breaks
He thought time could heal his growing shame
These white hot knives will turn to fire and theyll burn
He cannot heal before he breaksHe stumbled out of the bedroom
Feel the shock moving up and down your spine
Hes running out of the building
Shes going crazy, screaming, asking Why?If you look for a savior to finally be free
Free from all his failure, thats all youll ever see
He stumbled into the bathroom, shut the door and fell right to his knees
He tried to look in the the mirror, now his eyes are bleeding
Hes asking pleaseWhen the skin breaks
He thought time could heal his growing shame
These white hot knives will turn to fire and theyll burn
He cannot heal before he breaksSounds weakening, death sets in
As his stomach quickly hits the floor
The stench of a rotting lie has found its way to your brain
It pulls the trigger and opens your eyes to spot the reeking stainHe thought it would solve all his problems
He sees now that the blood will never wash away
Now cant you hear what hes saying?
While youve been screaming youve been drowning the ladderSo you can float to the top instead of climb
And I assure you that Im not the one for youWhen the skin breaks
He thought time could heal his growing shame
These white hot knives will turn to fire and theyll burn
He cannot heal before he breaks
