Lyrics
history written
hello, little friend
is it truly so bad
as to force you to make
all the marks you wear
oh it?s a nasty affair
the lines on you read
just like history
written in skin
you thought you were brave
you were never so frightened
since when did blood
ever enlighten
all the breaking and burning
you ached and you yearned
in the end all it left you was
history
written in skin
you have all the answers
you cover the angles
you give such good reasons
and tell such good lies
you never could tell
who would discover
your history written in skin
