Lizard Skin

I reserve myself the right to protect, I
From intentions around
I see a thousand faces
In no one but myself I trust
I don't get love or care from this world of pain
Made my skin turn to stone
Bending under this load, I fall
And my skin is

My fall accelerates with the weight
Soon I'll be underworld
Surviving radiations, not for long
And I'm burning

Raging storm deep inside
Unsuspected misery

Someone has betrayed my trust
Attempted suicide

My nerves tensed, hardened my skin becomes
But I give my horse its head, I'll overcome
Come, meet
Under my lizard skin

I research the way to cleave through the air
My attention span is too short
My envelope is too tight not
And my skin is
