off your skin - emily afton lyrics

i don’t know how i found this place
i yearned and turned into the face
of which i made for all these years
i didn’t know i had these fears
and when your oxygen it reaches
the surface, the color bleaches
turns a shade i’ve never known
was in my blood or in my bones

in my bones
all that i do not show

and my poems they all end the same
in your voice and in your name
the only way for us to win
is if i peel you off my skin
piece by piece and i can’t slow down
this person that i’ve learned to drown
inside me has begun to swim
i watch you peel me off your skin

off your skin
where i end and you begin

and things are starting to seem normal which serves as a perfect queue
to start acting emotionally askew
and stop knowing what to do
or how to act like a train off its track, in a way that lacks
something stable like
an anchor or conscious, or being focused or happy or modest
and i just
want to do right
but i’m on this self-induced plight
and i’m the only one that can save it
it’s more of an itch that i stay trying to scratch just to play this wounded role
i’ve got more songs in your name, in your name in my soul

and i don’t know how i found this place
i close my eyes and see your face
gunpowder from a war inside
has calmed to dust and we’re still tied
i’m bare without a stone to hold me down
and wind blows through my bullet holes
let me go and i’ll float or sink

i loved you more than you think

love you more
this does not end here, i’ll love you more
look what’s under it all
i’ll love you more

more than you think, than i know
this does not end here
i’m sorry for all that i’ve done
underneath there’s a knot
that can never be torn
i’ve never stopped
and i’ll love you more
