Skin by Skin

[Verse 1]
You're out alone
You have no one
The streets are cold
Long gone the sun
Shelter is yours
Just come with me
Oh, I mean no harm
I just want to give you eternity

[Verse 2]
Step through my door
It's warm inside
Ignore the stench
Of rotting hides
This room is now
Your resting place
Where first to start?
Your hands or face?

[Chorus 1]
Skin by skin
You've been chosen
Skin by skin
Interwoven
Know too late your time has come
The knife is out, the blood does run
Jugular, a blast of red
Not soon enough you join the dead
Skin by skin
You've been chosen
Skin by skin
Interwoven

[Verse 3]
Sewn together with pieces past
Eyeholes peering, mouth's vacant gasp
Flesh stripped, meat aside, in fly swarmed mounds
Screaming, flesh gone, teeth scattered around

[Chorus 2]
Intersected strips of gore
Line the walls forevermore
Pieced together methodically
I lick the stitches as they bleed
Skin by skin
You've been chosen
Skin by skin
Interwoven
