When the skin breaks   He thought time could heal his growing shame   These white hot knives will turn to fire and they?ll burn   He cannot heal before he breaks      He stumbled out of the bedroom   Feel the shock moving up and down your spine   He?s running out of the building   She?s going crazy, screaming, asking ?Why??      If you look for a savior to finally be free   Free from all his failure, that?s all you?ll ever see   He stumbled into the bathroom, shut the door and fell right to his knees   He tried to look in the the mirror, now his eyes are bleeding   He?s asking please      When the skin breaks   He thought time could heal his growing shame   These white hot knives will turn to fire and they?ll burn   He cannot heal before he breaks      Sounds weakening, death sets in   As his stomach quickly hits the floor   The stench of a rotting lie has found its way to your brain   It pulls the trigger and opens your eyes to spot the reeking stain      He thought it would solve all his problems   He sees now that the blood will never wash away   Now can?t you hear what he?s saying?   While you?ve been screaming you?ve been drowning the ladder      So you can float to the top instead of climb   And I assure you that I?m not the one for you      When the skin breaks   He thought time could heal his growing shame   These white hot knives will turn to fire and they?ll burn   He cannot heal before he breaks
