Skin Got Thinner

And every time you said to me the future couldn't touch us I fell asleep into your arms like words could not be broken You whispered something in my ear that I have now forgotten Keep scratching the surface but I never win The skin gets thinner over time And bruises are just special blood That you care more about for a while But underneath is the wasteland that never heals The true story of hidden castles and witches and ghosts walking away in the night And my aspirin filled head which is the only evidence I have That this really happened The days feel shorter as the memories eat the last parts of everything The skin got thinner as I scratched The skin got thinner as I scratched the surface The skin got thinner as I scratched The skin got thinner as I scratched the surface The skin got thinner as I scratched
