lyrics

look at us in the morning too tired to get a shirt on too tired to get a riase
listen up car, start, get ready to go
put me on your shoulder take me where you want
like oh my god i'm here i'm not
we used to build cities out of old plastic blocks
and at the end of the day
we'd tear them down for fun
now we got to build a solid structure to stand on
now we got a second set of teeth to take care of

and i am your second skin
i'm here to take from you your thoughts

i am the strapping young son in the second grade
teachers think i'm quiet cause do everything they say
they talk i play with puppets by myself in my back yard
while the other kids tramp through the woods
toy guns around their arms
you ask yourself you ask yourself i know you come up dry
i still wakes you up at three AM for no reason
i am your second skin
i'm here to take from you your thoughts

look, stop, take a breath
my mother says
don't forget to turn the light off when you leave a room son
but no I'm not done yet, there's wet paint upon my hands
an I shall never finish up
i am your second skin
