Skin - Rihanna

At first I see an open wound Infected and disastrous It breathes chaotic catastrophe It cries to be renewed (please renew me!) Its tears are the color of anger They dry to form a scab To the touch, its stiff and resilient Underneath, the new skin breathes, yeah It's all been saved With the exception for the right parts When will we be new skin? As outwardly cliche as it may seem Yes, something under the surface says: "C'est la vie" There is a circle, it is a plan Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again Look closely at the open wound See past what covers the surface Underneath chaotic catastrophe Creation takes the stage, so Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again Dead skin will atrophy itself to start again It's all been saved With the exception for the right parts When will we be new skin? It's all been seen With the exception for what could be When will we be new skin? Until the Twentieth Century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see, and hear Since the initial publication of the chart of electromagnetic spectrum Humans have learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear Is less than one millionth of reality Fallacious cognitions Spewed from televisions Do mold our decisions So stop and take a look and you'll see what I see now Now! It's all been saved With the exception for the right parts When will we be new skin? It's all been seen With the exception for what could be When will we be new skin? Skin

Skin to bone, steel to rust Ash to ashes, dust to dust Let tomorrow have its way With the promises we made Skin to bone, steel to rust Ash to ashes, dust to dust Your deception, my disgust When your name is finally drawn I'll be happy that you're gone Ash to ashes, dust to dust Ah, ash to ashes, dust to dust Ah, skin to bone and steel to rust Right to left, left to right Night to day and day to night As the starlight fades to grey I'll be marching far away Right to left and left to right Ah, ash to ashes, dust to dust Ah, skin to bone and steel to rust Let tomorrow have its way With the promises betrayed Skin to bone and steel to rust Skin to bone and steel to rust Skin to bone and steel to rust

I like your skin on Sunday morning After you've had five drinks at the bar And I like your skin when it's hot in the summer Reading a book by yourself at the park And I like your skin when you're getting goosebumps Whispering things that you wanna hear I like your skin when it's freezing cold Let me kiss you at midnight every New Year But it don't mean nothing when it's only skin deep I'm promising everything, but what can I keep? If you want the real thing You're tired of acting like we're living a lie I don't wanna miss a thing I don't wanna miss another day I thought I knew, I thought I knew What I wanted when I started You're asking "Did the feeling fade? What happens when you hear my name?" I thought I knew, I thought I knew What I wanted when I started Yeah, ask me what might have changed I want skin in the game I like your skin, but you don't wanna hear it Rolling your eyes when my heart's on my sleeve And I'll love your skin when we're old and dancing Just give me a look when you're ready to leave It ain't worth discussing if it can't get deep If it feels like I'm running, then it all gets cheap You want the real thing, you're tired of acting Can I see you tonight? I don't wanna miss a thing I don't wanna miss another day I thought I knew, I thought I knew What I wanted when I started You're asking "Did the feeling fade? What happens when you hear my name?" I thought I knew, I thought I knew What I wanted when I started Ask me what might have changed, oh-oh I want skin in the game I don't wanna miss a thing I don't wanna miss another day I thought I knew, I thought I knew What I wanted when I started You're asking "Did the feeling fade? What happens when you hear my name?" I thought I knew, I thought I knew What I wanted when I started Ask me what might have changed, oh-oh I want skin in the game
