(For those of you who don't know, Natalie is my all time favorite singer. She's able to really capture my feelings in her songs or the way I'd present them. This is one of my personal favorites).

My Skin
By: Natalie Merchant

Take a look at my body
Look at my hands
There's so much here that I don't understand
Your face-saving promises
Whispered like lies
I don't need them, no.
I've been treated so wrong
I've been treated so long
As if I'm becoming untouchable

Well contempt loves the silence,
it thrives in the dark
Slow winding tendrils that strangle your heart
They say that promises sweeten the blow
But I don't need them, no I don't need them.

I've been treated so long
I've been treated so wrong
As if I'm becoming untouchable
I'm a slow dying flower
In the frost killing hour
Sweet turning sour and
untouchable

Oh, I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh I need this

Oh I need
a lullabye
A kiss goodnight
Angel
sweet love of my life
Oh I need this

I'm a slow dying flower
In the frost killing hour
Sweet turning sour and
untouchable

Do you remember the way
That you touched me before?
All the trembling sweetness
I loved and adored?

Your face-saving promises
Whispered like prayers
I don't need them
No, I don't need them

Oh I need
The darkness
The sweetness
The sadness
The weakness
Oh, I need this

I need a lullabye
A kiss goodnight
Angel
Sweet love of my life
Oh I need this

Is it dark enough?
Do you see me?
Do you want me?
Can you reach me?
Oh, I'm leaving.

You better shut your mouth
Hold your breath
You kiss me now, you'll catch my death
Oh I mean this
