Chilled To the Bone

Shivering with fear, I want to be in someone else’s skin Chilled to the bone, Nameless remorse whips me from deep within From deep within, This pain drips on like acid rain Deep down inside, the sin Scorches me aflame Can’t help, but be driven insane Chilled to the bone By the gloomy atmosphere Why are you gone? I’m all alone… Devouring despised fear… Chilled to the bone Afraid to let go… Weighed down by gravity…I groan I won’t go with the flow Shivering with fear, I want to be in someone else’s skin Chilled to the bone, Nameless remorse whips me from deep within From deep within, This pain drips on like acid rain Deep down inside, the sin Scorches me aflame Can’t help, but be driven insane I’m sorry that I’ve let you down You can’t save me from my demise Nothing can change what has happened, But you change my future I’ve tried too hard and this childlike joy – I can’t discard! Feeling like I’ve wasted my time Why am I a depressed bard? Have a committed a terrible crime? Shivering with fear, I want to be in someone else’s skin Chilled to the bone, Nameless remorse whips me from deep within From deep within, This pain drips on like acid rain Deep down inside, the sin Scorches me aflame It’ll always be that same burn As the oceans collide and churn Feeling this shame without a name Mistreated by your own shame I should refrain from gettin’ driven insane Chilled to the bone, I just want you to leave me alone for a time Walking on my own, I found out that love never lasts – It’s a forgotten line, Sick of trying to rhyme…rhyme… Chilled to the bone By the fear of losing you (I hope that fear doesn’t draw near) Why are you gone? Have I ran out of time? Biting my fingers, hoping the boat will steer, Undamaged with capacity… Hopefully, we’ll arrive in one piece – That’s my only plea! I swear I’ll be okay If the clouds don't turn gray today in May I won't be feeling gay... Not that anyone cares I feel that way If you left me out of the blue...I wouldn't know what to say I'll be depressed all day, but hey That's reality...I need to get real, For my heart is made out of the finest, strongest steel I won't make it a big deal! I'll forgive the past and forget about it for a change For, it's about time we rearrange Please don’t forget about me easily this fine day I promise I’ll be happy child on God…dancing merrily I thought you belonged with me, But our relationship only lasted for a while, baby Oh Lord! I wish you’d give us peace! Give me a piece of what you got Chilled to the bone, don’t leave me to rot!
