Beneath The Skin - Memphis May Fire

Another day she sets foot in this prison

Dreading what they'll say

(dreading what they'll say)

So much to give but no one ever listens

She dreams of running away

Crippled by the way they make her feel

She takes a look at her

Wrists and turns to the blade

It's not a cry for attention if she just

Wants to feel anything other than the pain

Everyone deserves to be loved

But they make her hate everything

She was sure of

Every day feels like her against the world

Now she's afraid she'll never be enough

No one knows all the weight

That she holds when she feels alone

The memories they haunt her

No one sees all the pain

She brings everywhere she goes

She feels they'll never want her

She dreams of a day when she won't

Have to cry herself to sleep

Staring at the scars on her wrists

She knows this is not who she wants to be

Another night all alone with her thoughts

Dwelling on the questions

That race through her head

Scared to sleep scared to wake up

And face the day

When she can't forget the things that they said

No one knows all the weight

That she holds when she feels alone

The memories they haunt her

No one sees all the pain

She brings everywhere she goes

She feels they'll never want her

All she wants is someone to notice

So sick of feeling invisible

All she needs is someone to care

If only they could see that she's incredible

She dreams of a day when she won't

Have to cry herself to sleep

Is our generation too blind to see

True beauty lies beneath the skin

So ignorant

Are they too cold

Too numb to see the lifelong

Effects of the pain they inflict

(of the pain they inflict)

Is our generation too blind to see

True beauty lies beneath the skin

Beneath the skin

No one knows all the weight that she holds

When she feels alone

(feels alone feels alone feels alone)

No one sees all the pain

She brings everywhere she goes

Oh

No one knows all the weight

That she holds when she feels alone

The memories they haunt her

No one sees all the pain

She brings everywhere she goes

She feels they'll never want her

All she wants is someone to notice

So sick of feeling invisible

All she needs is someone to care

If only they could see that she's incredible

She dreams of a day when she won't

Have to cry herself to sleep

Staring at the scars on her wrists

She knows this is not who she wants to be
