The Boygirlfriends - Another Skin Lyrics

I landed in my body for a time tonight
Stretched my skin out and began to come alight
Moving with a sense of comfort and ease
But in a moment my agility would leave
My heart's not pounding
My guys aren't churning

Could everyone see me evaporate again?
Is it convincing when I fake presence and stand?
I think I'm sliding with my back against the wall
The light behind my eyes not shining at all
My speech is muted
My thoughts polluted

The ghost that haunts my lungs pipes up again
She says to find another skin
Would you recognize this form, sweet friend
If I could turn it outside in?

I smash the mirror I'd been lost in for a while
Rejoin the crowd and try too hard to crack a smile
Regain my balance I can pull through the hour
If I stay on my feet, I'll start to feel less dour
My head now spinning
These faces grinning

You know, I tried to make it over to you
That giant glut of bodies wouldn't let me through
An endless loop of things we wish we could express
A common shapelessness we can't seem to address
Our brains are yearning
These bodies turning

The ghost that haunts my lungs pipes up again
She says to find another skin
Will you recognize this form, sweet friend
When I can turn it outside in?
