Skin

Skin

Purple light
skin exposed
I see you
when my eyes are closed

    hard to remember
    hard to forget
    I can feel it
    it's in my sweat

Purple light
skin exposed
do you know me
do you know

    do you know me
    do you know
    do you know me like I thought I did

    I remember how it felt
      With your hand on my skin
    I remember how it felt
      With your breath on my neck
    I remember how it felt
      With your lips on my flesh
    I remember how it felt
      I remember I remember I remember I remember

    do you know me
    do you know
    do you know me like I thought I did

Purple light
skin exposed
I see you
when my eyes are closed

Purple light
skin exposed
do you know me
do you know

Purple light
skin exposed
I see you
when my eyes are closed

Purple light
skin exposed
do you know me
do you know

    There's something about the smell
    the smell of vanilla jasmine
    it shuts me down
    and nothing is real
    The world around me is shapes, colors
    Faces without meaning,
    hands attached that aren't my own

    Red and green
    Streaks of light, streaks of sound
    flashing orange, solid white
    following lines on the ground

    Blue waving from below
    each blink something new
    a tingle across my body
    shivers and burning through

Go

    It's been five years
    Five long years
    It's been five years
    Since I was alone with me

    Where have I been
    Where did I go
    Where was I

    I, I, I
    I can see me
    I, I, I
    I can see me
    I, I, I
    I can see me

    Where have I been
    Where did I go
    Do you know me
    Do you know

    Where have I been
    Where did I go
    Do you know me
    Do you know

And the sun rises day after day
The mountains stand firm even out of sight
The rain still falls whenever it may
So much of my life has been taken by night
I'll let the next rainfall wash it away

    So fragile
    Living for today
    Looking at tomorrow

    Where was I
    I was all alone
    Do you know me
    Do you know

    Do you know me
    Do you know
    Do you know me like I thought I did

    Go keep going
    go just go

    Do you know me
    do you know

    Go keep going
    go just go

    Go keep going
    go just go

    Go keep going
    go just go
