Fiction builds inside of me
Subconscious hidden lies
Silently they're sliding in
The truth will be disguised

Secrecy surrounding me
So the scars can heal
The happy face I seem to have
Is not the way I feel
Under the skin

Can't let the truth come out
So the scars can heal
The more you build upon that ground
The worse you start to feel
Under the skin

Felt the sadness overcome
Approaching day by day
Calm and peaceful state of mind
Forced to slip away

The hammering of the shrouded past
Shatters silent sanctuaries
No promises of a better life
Can make this pain to ease

Live inside the biggest lie
Dying from within
Fear of losing the alibi
Cause the cover's getting thin...
Under the skin
