Skin against skin
Covering bone
The body you're in is aggressively slim
Yeah, you earn the clothes you put on it
They cover up where you've been
Leave those scars at home
Let them slide down the length
Of your spine
'Cross your knees
And down to your feet
They slow our momentum
Each time you're reminded they're there
You don't have to pretend to be an orphan anymore
You don't have to pretend to be important anymore
That brutal youth
Exhumed and removed
Entombed in a box
Cached 'cross your room
It slows our momentum
Each time I'm reminded it's there
Your anxious tongue slurs cautious words
Yeah, it's gotten so used
To being misunderstood
You do your best to control it
Remind yourself that you care
