My skin fell off
my skin fell off
my skin fell off
my skin fell off
my skin fell off
so please, leave me alone
quit calling me on the phone
I don’t wanna talk
there’s not much new goin on
except my skin fell off
quit sending me messages
askin me where i’ve been
I’m lying in bed all day
missing my skin
I can’t come to your party
I’ll just make a scene
I can’t meet you for coffee
cuz I can’t wear anything
not gonna go to work
if I can’t keep my organs in
not gonna post a pic on social, man
I ain’t got no skin
thanks for reminding me
but I can’t go to your show
people just point at me
wherever I go
I can't go on a date
that’s out of the question
for reasons I think I’ve said
I don’t feel very sexy
I haven’t seen the new movies
or recently read a book
I’m pretty consumed with the way
I feel and I look
so quit throwing things at me
to see if they’ll stick
quit stealing my skin and driving around in my car
wearing it
please don’t let your dog approach me
he might get hungry for my meat
I’d rather not have to run
with these dumb skinless feet
I don’t wanna do an interview
I don’t wanna be on the news
I don’t want my skinless state to be clickbait
to sell ad revenue
Please don’t call me your skinless friend
I don’t want this to define me
It’s what’s inside that counts
which I guess you can see
Yeah my house is fallin apart and my lawn is overgrown and infested with snakes
and my sink is overflowing with dirty dishes and my bills are all late
and furthermore the world as we know it is falling apart due to carelessness and inaction
but what do you want me to do about it. I haven’t got any skin.

When I saw her perform last year she said something along the lines of, "ever make a song so good you have to perform it for the rest of your life? Don't worry, I like this song." She proceeded to perform Chance and that is without a doubt the best one, runner-up to Spring 🌆📯🐗 Sinnamon Ghost Crunch
