Under my skin
There's a place where he still rules
Under the paint
There's a fear I can't undo

Hear it calling me in the darkness of my soul
It will wait to be the only thing that I can hold

Back in that room
It never changes, no matter if I move
Ears open wide
To catch my words, and what they hide

There's a place that I know
Where the bad in me goes
Where there's naught but fear
And the wind doesn't blow
It's too cold there to snow
And it knows that I'm here

Hold it tightly
Squeeze the death from it till it dies
Wait for sunrise
Trust the warmth to crawl inside
