lyrics

such pretty things
all beautifully disguised
the same mirages appear
to me every night

in a place where birds
just fall from the sky
no one to cry for
when all the heroes have died

you sleep eyes open
with your woman by your side
i sleep eyes closed
with nothing to hide

some of us were
only born to die
some of us have
never even been alive

it's only skin
it's only skin

the beauty you seek
is only as vast
as your soul is deep
eventually ugly
is all that we can keep

handshakes get you as many
enemies as friends
a smile today is just
a frown around the bend

faces all of shining
ghosts in my dreams
the sirens always wake me
up before i sleep

some of us were
only born to die
some of us have
never even been alive

it's only skin
it's only skin
