Lyrics

What have we come to?
You flinch when I try to touch you
Stand and pat me when I hug you
and we each sleep alone.

He stole your skin your so-called father
Abuser, torturer, he stole your skin
And when you run from me
I think you’re running from him

You built castle walls to
keep you safe from his blows
but they keep you alone
and there’s no pleasure in stone

He stole your skin your so-called father
Abuser, torturer, he stole your skin
And when you run from me
I think your running from him

Let’s go back, I’ll go with you
let’s go in and find your skin
Your dad’s long gone
it’s time to right his wrongs
Take back your skin so we can touch again

He stole your skin your so-called father
Abuser, torturer, he stole your skin
And when you run from me
I think your running from him

I want your freedom from your father’s fist
Babies die when they’re not held enough

I want your freedom from your father’s fist
Love can’t live when it’s not held enough
