lyrics

you're always so put together
mannequin arms and mannequin toes
you're standing in your bedroom
putting on your clothes

lovely skin,
you have lovely skin
and lots of people
who call themselves your friend

your feet so callused you can't feel carpet
your heart so callused you can't feel anything
you hold all in like you're wrapped in plastic
melting with the winter snow
your shadow looks to you more like a friend
than anyone you know

lovely skin,
you have lovely skin
and lots of people
who call themselves your friend

sandbags on my eyelids
my head is heavy, and my neck weak
my shaking legs move the floor
It's you they all adore
but I still have more

lovely skin,
you have lovely skin
and lots of people
who call themselves your friend

lovely skin,
you have lovely skin
and lots of people
who call themselves your friend
