Skintercourse - Menomena

I fell in love with the feeling of being in love

I should have known it wouldn’t last

But i had the traits

And the confident face of a man

And i’ll evolve if i can’t adapt

So i fell in love with the feeling of my own hands

Stretching back

Letting go

I shed the skin that i slithered in for so long

I rubbed my stomach raw

I can’t identify the source of my

Overarching need to pry under your skin

I guess it started all the way back when

You and i used to pretend we were just friends

Now i’m overlooked and undertouched

I overcompensated for such

And i can’t get back to where i once was

I wish i’d been the one to come undone

To have and hold this magic wand over your head

I can’t identify the source of this

Overarching need to twist the knife in your skin

I guess it started once i realized

This life i once idealized is all gone to shit

Now i’m underdressed and overtouched

I didn’t think that i’d like it so much

And i won’t go back to where i once was

Thank god i was the one to come undone

Now i can hold this smoking gun over your head
