I am safe in my own skin Though my armor is paper-thin Fixate on history As if it can be changed The words are inked indelibly But I can't face the next blank page But if I keep walking this line You'll hear enough that you'll think you've seen inside The light won't get in The darkness keeps me safe from what's within I'm out on a limb Well prepared for you to cut it off We can talk it out But I'd rather talk around If you're feeling uncomfortable that's common ground I accept and I concede The weather won't change for me I hope I'll smell the blossoms soon I pray for my own spring My winter has been desolate And less than forgiving But if I keep walking this line You'll hear enough that you'll think you've seen inside The light won't get in The darkness keeps me safe from what's within I'm out on a limb Well prepared for you to cut it off We can talk it out But I'd rather talk around If you're feeling uncomfortable that's common ground The light won't get in The darkness keeps me safe from what's within I'm out on a limb Well prepared for you to cut it off We can talk it out But I'd rather talk around If you're feeling uncomfortable that's common ground
