Skin Game

Lyrics for Skin Game

Knowing what I know I'm never free to come and go But when I try to open doors, I burn When daylight hits the flames Playing the skin game Breathing the blue flame Playing the skin game Insight, insane Knowing what I know I've been looking for a space to grow And maybe I can set you free, yes maybe I can set you free Playing the skin game Breathing the blue flame Playing the skin game Insight, insane I'm content to live in the vacuum I have made A comfortable existence on my own The problems of the world are there for others to debate I prefer to face my days alone Kneeling down before I sleep Never said a prayer that I believed One day you'll understand Why have I become this way? Maybe it's another quirk of fate Yielding to my DNA Try to live on my own Reborn once more as a whisper on the telephone Unafraid of it all Every thought, every dream, I will call, I will call Now I'm living alone And all I am is a whisper on the telephone Making sense of it all Every thought, every dream, I will call, I will call I will call I will call I will call I will call I will call
