about

A song about hiding your pain.

lyrics

You don’t need to look no more
You don’t need to see my skin

I’m a cadaver walking around
I am a surgeon’s rag, crumpled on the ground
I don’t need stitches, my blood doesn’t flow
A sarcomaniac, cutting right to the bone

You don’t need to look no more
You don’t need to know my skin is sore
You think I can let it go
But the underbelly’s soft as snow
Heard you say you think I’m made of stars
But the underbelly is adorned with scars

I don’t need shelter, I live in the soil
I don’t need Jesus, I’m already anointed with oil
Thought you couldn’t be embalmed alive?
One little cut and now I’m struggling to survive
Heard you say you think I’m made of stone
But it’s rigor mortis making me its home

You don’t need to look no more
You don’t need to know my skin is sore
You think I can let it go
But the underbelly’s soft as snow
You don’t need to see this pain
You should probably just look away
You think you already know
But the underbelly’s soft as snow
Heard you say you think I’m made of stars
But the underbelly is adorned with scars

I am a beating heart beneath the earth
Sliced to ribbons but I promise it doesn’t hurt
I don’t expect that you could ever know
‘Cause my disgusting underbelly
I’ll never show

You don’t need to look no more
Please don’t witness me with my flesh torn
You think I can let it go
But the underbelly’s soft as snow
Heard you say you think I’m made of stars
But the underbelly is adorned with scars
