# Numb Beneath the Skin
**Verse 1**
Numb Beneath the Skin,
Dead in the water,
Frozen in a pond
Where the night gets darker.
Cold beneath my skin,
Take hold of my hands
And pull me further in.
Crawling skeletons
Come dragging through the mud,
Bones against the concrete,
Teeth beneath the flood.
Tell that to my face,
Tell that to me now,
No use telling them
They won't hear you anyhow.
**Chorus**
Numb Beneath the Skin
But I'm still moving on.
A walking skeleton
With everything gone.
No excuses, please,
No apologies tonight.
I'm moving through the darkness
Looking for another light.
**Verse 2**
What might have been
Is buried underneath,
Among the broken bones
And the dirt beneath my feet.
Take hold of my hands,
Don't let me disappear.
There's something in the distance
That keeps drawing me near.
Frozen in a pond,
But the water starts to rise.
Crawling skeletons
Are staring through my eyes.
Tell that to my face,
Tell me what you know.
No use telling them—
They're already below.
**Chorus**
Numb Beneath the Skin,
Dead in the water.
Walking through the ruins
Like a forgotten daughter.
No excuses, please,
No apologies remain.
I'm carrying these bones
Through the acid rain.
**Verse 3**
Everything comes loose.
Skin becomes a memory,
The body has no use.
I'm moving in the next world,
Or somewhere in between,
A walking skeleton
In a landscape never seen.
Numb Beneath the Skin,
But something still survives.
A voice inside the ribcage,
A pulse beneath the ice.
The crawling skeletons
Keep following behind.
They cannot take the last thing
That is still inside my mind.
**Final Chorus**
Numb Beneath the Skin,
Dead in the water.
Frozen in the darkness
But I won't stay under.
Take hold of my hands,
Pull me through the cold.
No excuses, please,
No stories left untold.
Tell that to my face.
Tell that to my bones.
Tell that to the skeletons
That crawl across the stones.
Numb Beneath the Skin,
But I'm moving somehow.
Moving in the next world,
Moving through it now.
**Outro**
What might have been
Is gone.
No excuses.
No apologies.
Tell that to my face.
Tell that to the crawling skeletons.
I'm Numb Beneath the Skin—
But I'm still moving.
