KISS ME DEAD – SECOND SKIN (Official Lyric Video)

“I gave you my heart, you gave me your mood. You wore my love like a second skin.” SECOND SKIN is a dark, intimate song about emotional erosion. About shrinking yourself to keep someone close. About learning to flinch, editing your needs, and calling fear “love.” This is for anyone who disappeared trying not to be too much. ——— LYRICS ——— You held me close like a warning sign Soft hands sharp edge sweet decline Said it’s just how I love then watched me flinch Like kindness only counts when you can win I learned your silence like a foreign tongue Tried to be easy learned how to go numb If I needed more you’d call it too much So I stopped reaching stopped asking for your touch I gave you my heart you gave me your mood I kept getting smaller just to stay close to you You wore my love like a second skin And I disappeared in you You said I worry like it meant I care But it felt like chains in the open air Every who’s that every sideways look Like my whole life was a case you took I started to flinch at a normal day Started to edit the words I’d say I smiled through pressure played the calm While you kept moving the line I’m walking on I gave you my heart you gave me your mood I kept getting smaller just to stay close to you You wore my love like a second skin And I disappeared in you I don’t think you meant to break me But you loved how I would bend You’d pull me back with “I need you” Then punish me again And I kept calling it safety Like fear was something I should trust I kept shrinking down to nothing So you wouldn’t feel like too much I gave you my heart you gave me your mood I kept getting smaller just to stay close to you You wore my love like a second skin And I disappeared in you
