Cadence Wishes - I'm Not My Skin Lyrics

Will things even get better?
I can't fake it
I can't take it

Aim your double-faced bullets at me
Then you say I cry when I should laugh

I don't know
Are you sure?

I'm not what I have been told I am
Not what I told myself that I am
I am love, pure, innocent
I can't breathe through my nose, but I can taste with my lips

I'm not my skin

I'm fragile like a doll
An abandoned dog
Don't give it food

They're terrified I will outshine them
But my pillow is dead, that's why I can dream

Dream
Am I sure?

I'm not what I have been told I am
Not what I told myself that I am
I am love, pure, innocent
I can't breathe through my nose, but I can taste with my lips

I'm not my skin

So I can choose to create my place
If you feel threatened by me, I'm doing things okay
And I did what I do best
Grab my guitar and write a song about my pain

Oh

Things, they got so much better
I can fake it
I can take it
