Текст (слова) песни: Natalie Merchant - My Skin

 
Take a look at my body 
Look at my hands 
There`s so much here that I don`t understand 
Your face-saving promises 
Whispered like prayers 
I don`t need them 
 
Because I`ve been treated so wrong 
I`ve been treated so long 
As if I`m becoming untouchable 
Well, content loves the silence 
It thrives in the dark 
With fine winding tendrils 
That strangle the heart 
They say that promises sweeten the blow 
But I don`t need them, no 
I don`t need them 
 
I`ve been treated so wrong 
I`ve been treated so long 
As if I`m becoming untouchable 
I`m the slow dying flower 
In the frost killing hour 
Sweet turning sour anduntouchable 
 
Oh, I need the darkness 
The sweetness 
The sadness 
The weakness 
Oh, I need this 
I need a lullaby 
A kiss good night 
Angel sweet love of my life 
Oh, I need this 
 
I`m the slow dying flower 
In the frost killing hour 
Sweet turning sour anduntouchable 
Do you remember the way that you touched me before 
All the trembling sweetness I loved and adored 
Your face-saving promises whispered like prayers 
I don`t need them 
 
Oh, I need the darkness 
The sweetness 
The sadness 
The weakness 
Oh, I need this 
I need a lullaby 
A kiss good night 
Angel sweet love of my life 
Oh, I need this 
 
Well is it dark enough 
Can you see me 
Do you want me 
Can you reach me 
Oh, I`m leaving 
You better shut your mouth 
And hold your breath 
And kiss me now 
And catch your death 
Oh, I mean this 
Oh, I mean this
