I’ve been listening to this song quite a lot recently and I truly feel the words best describe how I have felt at one period in my life. As I am sure it has with many other people as the musician wouldn’t have written it otherwise.
Sometime’s we want to escape from our self’s and in the hope someone else can help take the emptiness away that some of us have deep inside. Thanks for this great and meaningful song guy’s.
Lyrics “Dead Skin” – Crossfade
So I’m the king of all these things
of this mess I have made
Such a waste what a shame
my whole life is a fake
Well I’m a bore and I’m sure
I’m a thorn inside of you
that has torn at you for years
The alcohol the demerol
these things never could replace
What a minute with you could do
to put a smile on my face
I’m a bore and I’m sure
I’m a thorn inside of you
that has torn at me for years
[Chorus]
I can’t get out of this dead skin
I can’t she’d my skin
I’m not sure where to begin
why can’t I begin again
I can’t get under my dead skin
I can’t she’d my skin
Can I sleep ’til then
Phenobarbital and alcohol
these two surely will do
To knock me out keep me down
at least a day or two
When I’m awake I can taste
how bitter I’ve become
And it’s more than I can bear
Someday’s I pray
someone will blow me away
Make it quick but let it burn
so I can feel my life fade
Well I’m a waste and I can taste how bitter
I’ve become and it’s more than I can bear
[Chorus]
I can’t get out of this dead skin
I can’t she’d my skin
Not sure where to begin
Why can’t I begin again
I can’t get under my dead skin
I can’t she’d my skin
Can I sleep till then
Whisper: I can’t she’d my skin, I can’t she’d my skin
(guitar solo)
[Chorus]
I can’t get out of this dead skin
Not sure where to begin
I can’t get under my dead skin
Can I sleep till then
I can’t get out of this dead skin
I can’t she’d my skin
I’m not sure where to begin
Why can’t I begin again
I can’t get under my dead skin
I can’t she’d my skin
Can I sleep till then

Lyrics “Scars” – Papa Roach – Getting Away With Murder
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And my scars remind me that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
Drunk and I’m feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
I’m pissed cause you came around
Why don’t you just go home
Cause you channel all your pain
And I can’t help you fix yourself
You’re making me insane
All I can say is
[Chorus]
I tear my heart open, I sew myself shut
My weakness is that I care too much
And our scars remind us that the past is real
I tear my heart open just to feel
I tried to help you once
Against my own advice
I saw you going down
But you never realized
That you’re drowning in the water
So I offered you my hand
Compassions in my nature
Tonight is our last stand
[Chorus]
I’m drunk and I’m feeling down
And I just wanna be alone
You shouldn’t ever come around
Why don’t you just go home?
Cause you’re drowning in the water
And I tried to grab your hand
And I left my heart open
But you didn’t understand
But you didn’t understand
Go fix yourself
I can’t help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I’m sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
I can’t help you fix yourself
But at least I can say I tried
I’m sorry but I gotta move on with my own life
