The Skin From Without
Distancing the skin from without
Filling the 3D with Doubt
Believing it can be, it cannot be
And there's a tree, a cross
between us
An engine without the bus
And all I can I hear you say
is that my tears won't go away
Until I see that you are not me
It's way things are meant to be
Isn't that the truth?
