about

Skin is an album-only track from Empathy Test's third studio album, Monsters, with lyrics by Isaac Howlett and music by Isaac Howlett, Adam Relf and Oliver Marson. Like the other tracks on the album, it features live acoustic drums, performed by Christina Lopez. Live synths performed by Oliver Marson.

lyrics

I'm too afraid to put down in words
All the thoughts I've been keeping
On the tip of my tongue for too long.

And you're too scared of being alone
To be by yourself
Long enough to feel fine

In your own skin.

But I see you've moved on
A little too fast
For me to believe
You've left the past behind.
I'm just another boy
With a bruised ego
Who can never let go
Of something he didn't know
He had at the time.
Isn't it always the same?

I'm too afraid to put down in words
All the thoughts I've been hiding
In the back of my mind for so long.

You say a year is plenty of time
To be by myself
Long enough to feel fine.

In my own skin.

But I see you've moved on
A little too fast
For me to believe
You've left the past behind.
I'm just another boy
With a bruised ego
Who can never let go
Of something he didn't know
He had at the time.
Isn't it always the same?

But I see you've moved on
A little too fast
For me to believe
You've left the past behind.
I'm just another boy
With a bruised ego
Who can never let go
Of something he didn't know
He had at the time.
Isn't it always the same?
