Skin Deep

Skin Deep

A Poem by Travis Prino

You feel like hurting me tonight
but I will not put up a fight
and all this time will take it's toll
cause I've been losing all control
there's many battles won and lost
and they all leave me with a cost
my thoughts are stranded in my mind
my heart is racing all the time

if you look close enough you'll see
see me crawl beneath your skin
that thing you feel inside is me
I'm sinking deeper and deeper in
if you look close enough you'll see
see me crawl beneath your skin
that thing you feel inside is me
I'm sinking deeper and deeper in

you look confused but so am I
cause this life stares us in the eye
and I don't know where I'll end up
I think for now I'll just stay stuck
so move along now on your way
don't think I will beg you to stay
cause I am through with all your s**t
this time I won't put up with it

if you look close enough you'll see
see me crawl beneath your skin
that thing you feel inside is me
I'm sinking deeper and deeper in
if you look close enough you'll see
see me crawl beneath your skin
that thing you feel inside is me
I'm sinking deeper and deeper in

you liked to always put me down
cause you knew that I would stick around
but this time isn't like the last
you shouldn't be so sure about the past
I've made mistakes that I've paid for
so now I'm walking out the door
goodbye is what I'll say to you
goodbye this much I know is true

if you look close enough you'll see
see me crawl beneath your skin
that thing you feel inside is me
I'm sinking deeper and deeper in
if you look close enough you'll see
see me crawl beneath your skin
that thing you feel inside is me
I'm sinking deeper and deeper in
I'm sinking deeper and deeper in
I'm sinking deeper and deeper in

goodbye
this much I know is true.

Just a little caveat to my writing, 95% of what I write are lyrics so excuse the length and repetition and don't be deterred by that. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to comment. more..
