Tortoise Skin Lyrics by BRUCH

Autis

2018

[Verse 1]
Under the sunlight, there isn't a sound
When the ground is too broken to the touch
Thick layers keep us warm
When emotions are left outside in the cold
Left to die, left to rot and mold
Its gonna dry out, the water that keeps us moving
That soothes the biting wind
Will somebody soften the blow?

[Chorus]
[Vocalization]

[Verse 2]
When we are sleeping, there isn't a sound
Love is hiding, it knows there's no remorse
For we are too far apart
Society is making love to my heart
But leaving it cold and alone again

[Chorus]
[Vocalization]

Love was left behind on the journey
Left to fend on it's own
Do you think you'd savour it?
If you had to give it up?
Love was, love was
Love was, love was

[Bridge]
Like a reptilian
It is fierce and unwelcoming
Solid and unmoving
Rough and unwavering
Swaddled like a child
The only love we see comes from inside
It comes from inside

Like a reptilian
It is fierce and unwelcoming
Solid and unmoving
Rough and unwavering
Swaddled like a child
The only love we see comes from inside
It comes from inside

Like a reptilian
It is fierce and unwelcoming
Solid and unmoving
Rough and unwavering
Swaddled like a child
The only love we see comes from inside
It comes from inside
It comes from inside

[Chorus]
[Vocalization]
Love was, love was
Love was, love was
