"Skinned Alive"

Innocent, no, but I'm greatly naive
The best in my fellows how I long to believe
You made me leap, sir, I risked almost all
Imagine my shock when I felt myself fall

Oh, the pain + the peril, the torment I face
'Cause the romance we write you so quickly erase
Your pride starts to run you, my worth you soon doubt
Your ego gets fed while I'm turned inside out

My guts spilling out 'cause my soul you deprive
So bloodied + raw, don't think I will survive
A grislier fate would be hard to contrive
When you turn your back it's like I'm skinned alive
My pulse 'bout to stop, I'm too gone to revive
I know my last breath is about to arrive
A sorrier death would be hard to contrive
When you close your heart it's like I'm skinned alive

Murderous, no, but you're way self-obsessed
So greedy for life that I get laid to rest
You don't mean to harm but the outcome's the same
You're walking tall while I'm broken + lame

Oh, the sorrow + doom, yeah the danger I'm in
In this hunt I'm the prey + I'm not gonna win
The cut comes so fast that I'm too stunned to shout
You stay all intact while I'm turned inside out

Club me, shock me, take me down
Grab my hide + make your slice
Steal my treasure, take my crown
Leave me to die all alone on the ice
