As We Fall - Under The Skin Lyrics

I held the weight you left behind
Like lead, cold in my hands
(You never needed a mirror to make sense of yourself)
You're drifting, tossing stories like
Broken glass across my floor
(Felt like I was standing in someone else's skin)
So you needed a place to put your hunger
Somewhere deeper than skin
But I was no vacant space
You're just needed a ground to stand
I gave you so many chances, enough to
Fill the spaces you tried to bury
But you grew roots in every crack
And wondered why I was sinking
You never needed a mirror to make sense
Of yourself, but I did
Felt like I was standing in someone else's skin
Asking where I ended
And you began
But I'm learning to untangle the threads
To empty the cage I built around your voice
You were the shadow filling my days
You never needed a mirror to make sense
Of yourself, but I did
Felt like I was standing in someone else's skin
Asking where I ended
And you began
You began
Now, your name is ash in my mouth
A taste I can't spit out fast enough
And I carry no need to know
Who you pretend to be tomorrow
You never needed a mirror to make sense
Of yourself, but I did
Felt like I was standing in someone else's skin
Asking where I ended
And you began
And you began
And you began
