Skin Deep Lyrics by Miiesha

Smoke & Mirrors

2022

[Intro]
Mm, yeah, yeah
Yeah
[Verse 1]
So after now, if I'ma name
In miles of hungry men
In mama's hell
Open obedience
And they say sometimes
My silence, it [0:23 writhes?]
Hungry in their eyes, mouths full of tears
Learning where they feast with appetites of fear
And I know that I lose every fight I don't fight
Lay my words where you found them
Take your teeth out my tongue
I associate the taste
Of silence with my blood
[Chorus]
Just how deep are these wounds?
More than all of my years
History will not move
When it's trapped in you
When you're trapped in this
Skin that's far deeper than these wounds
More than two hundred years
History cannot move
When it's trapped in you
When you're trapped in this
Skin is holding the truth
Skin is holding the truth
[Verse 2]
Still claim you truly love the thing you claim to own
But love is freedom, possession is control
And still the harder you hold
I'm tell no longer you to fold
I keep my fingers in my wounds, yeah
Stay connected to my core
I wanna be the first to know
When it don't hurt me anymore
[Chorus]
Just how deep are these wounds?
More than all of my years
History will not move
When it's trapped in you
When you're trapped in this
Skin that's far deeper than these wounds
More than two hundred years
History cannot move
When it's trapped in you
When you're trapped in this
Skin is holding the truth
Skin is holding the truth
[Bridge]
For the ache don't stop, but it softens
Shake it off is a warnin'
Tired of the dark, it'll take too long
Fillin' up the quiet don't make things get done
Yeah, the ache don't stop but it softens
Shake it off is a warnin'
Bruises of the shape of a broken town
Drivin' me a map that'll lead me home
[Chorus]
Just how deep are these wounds?
More than all of my years
History will not move
When it's trapped in you
When you're trapped in this
Skin that's far deeper than these wounds
More than two hundred years
History cannot move
When it's trapped in you
When you're trapped in this
Skin is holding the truth
Skin is holding the truth
