The Skin Thief - Nekrogoblikon

There’s a house on a hill with a thief inside

And he’s looking for a coat that’ll fit just right

Why won’t you let me try them on?

(Why won’t you let me try them on?)

Childhood

I’m always thinking about childhood

Whoooaaa

It happened again

I can’t remember the last thing I did

Blood is on my hands

Screams are ringing in my ears

And I’m covered in skin

Blanket me

In this epidermal epiphany

This is my fate

I am the Skin Thief

There’s a house on a hill

With a thief outside

In a brand new coat

And it fits just right

You never would let me try them on

(You never let me try them on)

Childhood

God damn you childhood

It’s happening now

But I’ll never remember the screams

Or the howls

Death is flashing in my eyes

And I’m covered in skin

Blanket me

In this epidermal epiphany

This is my fate

I am the Skin Thief

I was but a boy

Walking alone in the snow

With no coat

Mother said no

(Mother said no)

And that’s when I froze

I just wanted clothes

Mother never gave i

I just needed a coat

Now I make them from skin

This has become my life

I am the Skin Thief

Blanket me

In this epidermal epiphany

This is your face

I am the Skin Thief

Oh, it tortures me

Just one look in my eyes

And you will see

I laugh at my fate

But I’m still the Skin Thief
