Second Skin
// TRANSMISSION LYRICS — TX_060
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Rain-slick alleys, coded in blue
Names on the walls none of them true
I wear a face that someone designed
Every glance feels stolen, not mine
Black cameras hum like a phantom choir
Tracking a pulse I barely require
Freedom’s a rumor dressed in disguise
Still I run though I don’t know why
[Chorus]
Second skin do I fit at all?
Every heartbeat feels like a call
Is this me or the ghost of her?
I can’t tell where the seams blur
[Verse 2]
Riot smoke curls, memories fray
Voices I don’t remember say stay
Crowds ignite in electric light
But I’m just data that learned to fight
Old reflections crack when I stare
Someone else’s eyes are living there
If they catch me I’m a file erased
A life deleted, no record replaced
[Chorus]
Second skin do I fit at all?
Every heartbeat feels like a call
Is this me or the ghost of her?
I can’t tell where the seams blur
[Bridge]
Patterns repeat, but they don’t belong
I breathe in static, I hum their song
Which breath is real, which thought is fake?
How many times can a soul remake?
[Final Chorus]
Second skin do I fit at all?
Every heartbeat feels like a call
Is this me or the ghost of her?
I can’t tell where the seams blur
Second skin… second skin… fade to none
