Beneath this Skin Lyrics

Oh oh oh

Today I ponder deep within

The purpose of my earthly spin

Why is my heart this way sway?

Or why can't I perceive?

The precious moments I let slip away

What life veils beyond what I can survey?

Beneath this human skin

Lies the choice to lose or win

Desires held deep within

Are not the deeds of my kin

From my soul a desperate cry

Echoes at every twist and turn

I feel like a winter's chill

A lament that engulfs my will

Regardless of what I feel

I can sense everything still

Even if it seems surreal

It's but a fantasy that lies instilled

Just as a child sleeps at night

So do dreams rest in my soul's light

Voices in my mind whispers in flight

Like ceaseless emotions taking flight

Hope stands tall like mighty Oaks

Bending not to time or adversity's strokes

Beneath this human skin

Lies the choice to lose or win

Desires held deep within

Are not the deeds of my kin

From my soul a desperate cry

Echoes at every twist and turn

I feel like a winter's chill

A lament that engulfs my will

Regardless of what I feel

I can sense everything still

Even if it seems surreal

It's but a fantasy that lies instilled

Like a bird soaring high

To touch the earth is not my cry

I would relive the life I ply

Time and time again

Or else time will slyly slip by

Beneath this human skin

Lies the choice to lose or win

Desires held deep within

Are not the deeds of my kin

From my soul a desperate cry

Echoes at every twist and turn

I feel like a winter's chill

A lament that engulfs my will

Regardless of what I feel

I can sense everything still

Even if it seems surreal

It's but a fantasy that lies instilled

Beneath this skin

No further surprises lie within

Just like scripted lines on stage

Of a life both sweet and sage

It shall never treat me with outrage

Simply it's what I choose to engage in
