Incubus - New Skin lyrics

At first I see an open wound

infected and disastrous

It breathes chaotic catastrophe

it cries to be renewed

Its tears are the color of anger,

they dry to form a scab

To the touch, its stiff and resilient,

underneath, the new skin breathes

As outwardly cliche as it may seem,

yes, something under the surface says,

"C'est la vie"

It is a circle, there is a plan

dead skin will atrophy itself to start again

Look closely at the open wound

see past what covers the surface

Underneath chaotic catastrophe,

creation takes stage.

Its all been saved

with exception for the right parts

When will we be new skin?

Its all been seen with exception for what could be

When will we be new skin?

Fallacious cognitions

spewed from televisions

do mold our decisions.

So stop and take a look,

and you'll see what I see now
