Lyrics

Skin
Words and Music by Elizabeth Pugh

I woke up on Thursday
The sky was so
Blue
I felt like I
Felt like I wasn't worth livin'
I crossed 3rd Avenue
Oh I felt like I didn't have any skin
There's a porn shop on the corner
Holding on to its sin
Oh I wanna
Buy back
Buy back
My life
And sell this stolen shame
Hmmm

This loneliness
This loneliness
Its gonna kill me

Like the pinky rings and the diamonds
Dead in the case
All that's left
Of a wasted life
And Mother Mary
I
I cannot hear you speak

I don't know how
How I'm gonna make it in this world
Cause everything that I've
Tried
Oh I've tried in vain
I always
I always had an ace up my sleeve
Now I
I feel the weight
From all I failed

Mother Mary I
I need you
Mother Mary I
I cannot hear you

And the sky so
Blue
I felt like I didn't have any skin
From the corner of the sky
I heard a voice sing

Mother Mary
She
She
comforts me
Mother Mary
I
I hear her speak
She says come now
My child
And rest your weary bones
Lay down
By the fire and let your heart sing
Let it sing
Let it sing

So if you feel
If you feel like
Your life ain't worth living
And everything that
You've tried
Oh
You’ve
Tried
In vain

Mother Mary
She
She will comfort you
Mother Mary
She
Comforts you
Mother Mary
She
Comforts
You
