Lyrics[]
I've got my hands out in front of my face And I can hardly breathe I've bathed myself in holy water But it doesn't bother me Under my skin, upon my head Inside the walls, beneath my bed My black and whites are turning red Cover my eyes and tell me Am I really blind? Cover my eyes and tell me Have I lost my mind? I've got my fingers to the blade But I can't feel a thing Open my eyes in salty water But it doesn't even sting Under my skin, upon my head Stuck in throat, beneath my bed My black and whites are turning red Cover my eyes and tell me Am I really blind? Cover my eyes and tell me Have I lost my mind? Have I lost my mind? Have I lost my mind? Under my skin, upon my head The lunatic is playing dead My black and whites are turning red Cover my eyes and tell me Am I really blind? Cover my eyes and tell me Have I lost my mind? Cover my eyes and tell me Am I really blind? Cover my eyes and tell me Have I lost my, have I lost my mind? Have I lost my mind? Have I lost my mind?
