The Skin Thief Lyrics


There's a house on a hill with a thief inside

And he's looking for a coat that'll fit just right

Why won't you let me try them on

Why won't you let me try them on?

Childhood

I'm always thinking about childhood

Whoooaaa

It happened again

I can't remember the last thing I did

Blood is on my hands

Screams are ringing in my ears

And I'm covered in skin

Blanket me in this epidermal epiphany

This is my fate

I am the skin thief

There's a house on a hill

Where the thief does hide

With a brand new coat

And it fits just right

You never would let me try them on

You never let me try them on

Childhood

God damn you childhood

It's happening now

But I don't ever remember the screams or the howls

Death is flashing in my eyes

When I'm covered in skin

Blanket me in this epidermal epiphany

This is my fate

I am the skin thief

I once met a boy

Walking alone in the snow with no coat

Momma said no

(Mom said no)

And that's when I froze

I just wanted clothes

Mother never gave it

I just needed a coat

Now I make them from skin

This has become my way

I am the skin thief

Blanket me in this epidermal epiphany

This is your face

I am the skin thief

Well it tortures me

Just one look in my eyes, you will see

Well this is my fate

But I'm still the skin thief
