I got unholy ghosts with their hands around my neck
A delicate reminder to never forget
To hold my tongue except when I try to pray
I open my mouth, try to breathe words out,
But I've got nothing to say

Only skin deep
(The secrets we keep)
Digging into me
(The lives we lead)
Thorn in my side
Getting deeper all the time
Deeper all the time
Only skin deep

I hear voices from the grave whispering my name
Reminding me all the time
"We're only what we leave behind, what we leave behind"
I'm gonna, gotta get out of here
Yeah, I gotta disappear
Learn to live without fear, we'll all live without fear
I'll return like a phantom, swallow cities to feel alive
Spit them out when I'm satisfied
Spit them out when I'm satisfied

Only skin deep
(The secrets we keep)
Digging into me
(The lives we lead)
Thorn in my side
Getting deeper all the time
Deeper all the time
Only skin deep

Only skin deep
(The secrets we keep)
Digging into me
(The lives we lead)
Thorn in my side
Getting deeper all the time
Deeper all the time
Only skin deep

I'm gonna, gotta get out of here
Yeah, I gotta disappear
Learn to live without fear, we'll all live without fear
I'll return like a phantom, swallow cities to feel alive
Spit them out when I'm satisfied
Spit them out when I'm satisfied

Only skin deep
(The secrets we keep)
Digging into me
(The lives we lead)
Thorn in my side
Getting deeper all the time

Only skin deep
(The secrets we keep)
Digging into me
(The lives we lead)
Thorn in my side
Getting deeper all the time

I'm gonna, gotta get out of here
Yeah, I gotta disappear
Learn to live without fear, we'll all live without fear
I'll return like a phantom, swallow cities to feel alive
Spit them out when I'm satisfied
Spit them out when I'm satisfied
