Underneath my skin

I close my eyes

And I can feel

As the memory of you

Burns on my skin


Hands that wander

Lips that taste

poison like that

Can not be erased


Chorus:
Can they see

When they look at me

Do they see the taint you’ve left

Underneath my skin



What do they see

When they look at me?

Do they see the stains

You’ve burned into me?

Do you think they know

Like I know?

Just how filthy

Pristine skin can be


Protests forming

In my mouth

You kiss my lips

And take the sound right out


Can they see it now?


You break and enter

Take it all

From above I’ll

Watch my own self fall


Chorus:
Can they see?

When they look at me

Can they see the taint you’ve left?

Underneath my skin



What do they see

When they look at me?

Do they see the stains

You’ve burned into me?

Do you think they know

Like I know?

Just how filthy

Pristine skin can be



In the dark

I can feel you watching

As I lay

I can feel you wanting

Every breath

I can feel you bury down

Underneath my skin

You’re underneath my skin

You’re underneath my skin


Do they see it now?


What do they see

When they look at me?

Do they see the stains

You’ve burned into me?

Do you think they know

Like I know?

Just how filthy

Pristine skin can be
