Underneath My Skin

The Illumination

Promise nothing no one but yourself,
'cause I've been dying just to live a little longer.
And I can’t sleep,
I want something of my own.
I’ll let the shore wash me out with the morning light.
When I broke away I found myself so out of reach.
Lonely eyes staring right back at me.
Promise me I’m better off, promise me I’m better off.
Just tell me I was wrong.
Just tell me that I’m not enough.
Don’t think I ever want to put this behind us.
I never want to put this behind us.
I don’t want to forget you.
No, I don’t want to forget you.
Consumed by your empty words and the thought of a better life.
Every passing second reminds me that I can’t turn back now.
When everything I say and every word I write means nothing to you,
I mean nothing to you.
If you close your eyes you’ll wake up someone new.
Surrounded by faces you swore you’ve never seen.
I said I’d never give in to the loneliness underneath my skin.
I said I’d never give in.
Keep walking through these walls that I feel in every bone.
Keep walking through these walls that we built on our own.
I don’t want to forget you.
No, I don’t want to forget you.
Just tell me I was wrong.
Just tell me that I’m not enough.
