so it seems, i'm alive, in your dreams
as i breathe, take your skin, rescue me
its time
for everything to begin
so all of this must end
your skin
your dreams
my part in your sadness

learning every day
something's surfacing
burn in every way
quit rehearsing this

under your skin there's the edge of a knife
you say its the thrill that helps you survive
under your eyes there's the pain of my life
you say its my fear that keeps me alive

so it goes, i survive, silent though
as we grow, sew your seeds, harvest me
its time
for everything to sink in
so all of this must end
your growth
your seeds
my part in this madness

this will not go away
something's surfacing
learn the games you play
quit rehearsing this

under your skin there's the edge of a knife
you say its the thrill that lets you survive
under your eyes there's the pain of my life
you say its my fear that keeps me alive

i can't breathe i can't think i can't see or survive
and to hate is to hurt is to forget this life
you don't know you don't like to believe i'm alive
and to wait is to watch is to forget goodbye
forget goodbye

under your skin there's the edge of a knife
you say its the thrill that lets you survive
under your eyes there's the pain of my life
you say its my fear that keeps me alive

and with time, i will thrive, find my way
time goes by, i'm alive, and now i'll say
its time
for everything to begin
so all of this must end
your past
your pride
my part in your sadness

under your skin there's the edge of a knife
you say its the thrill that lets you survive
under your eyes there's the pain of my life
you say its my fear that keeps me alive

but i'm not afraid anymore
i've found my way
i'm not afraid anymore
the dream is over
goodbye
