Second Skin

Lyrics by Annakin

I walk to war with this marching drum
To and fro goes the pendulum
Tick-tick-tack tick-tack emotions are stuck

Surrounded by dim happiness
I’ve found a black-framed tenderness
I was wearing it like my best evening dress

With her black horse she approaches him
Wrapped carefully in a second skin
Solemnly sent to the devil

This blanket is too short
It’s always cold somewhere

I pour all of my love into a leaking heart
I pour all of my love into a weeping heart
It’s tearing me apart
