There's a house on a hill with a thief inside And he's looking for a coat that'll fit just right Why won't you let me try them on? Why won't you let me try them on? Childhood I'm always thinking about childhood It happened again I can't remember the last thing I did Blood is on my hands Screams are ringing in my ears And I'm covered in skin Blanket me In this epidermal epiphany This is my fate I am the skin thief There's a house on a hill where a thief outside In a brand new coat and it fits just right You never would let me try them on You never let me try them on Childhood God damn you, childhood It's happening now But I'll never remember the screams or the howls Death is flashing in my eyes And I'm covered in skin Blanket me In this epidermal epiphany This is my fate I am the skin thief I was but a boy Walking alone in the snow with no coat Mother said no (Mother said no) And that's when I froze I just wanted clothes Mother never gave in I just needed a coat Now I make them from skin This has become my life I am the skin thief ♪ Blanket me In this epidermal epiphany This is your face I am the skin thief Oh, it tortures me Just one look in my eyes and you will see I laugh at my fate But I'm still the skin thief
