Skin Ticket Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Zero and zero is nothing but zero
Cancer and people conspire together
Running and running and going forever
Collected and sampled, starving for zero

[Chorus]
Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built in my grain
Come see my cage, built in my grain

[Verse 2]
Minus the inside and minus the circle
Inhabit the riddle and fill in the hovel
Wherein and herein, between us and near us
Zero and zero is nothing but zero

[Chorus]
Come see my cage, built-in migraine
Come see my cage, built-in migraine
Come see my cage, built-in migraine
Come see my cage, built-in migraine

[Bridge]
Keeping myself alive... through your empathy
Keeping myself alive... through your empathy
Keeping myself alive... through your empathy
Keeping myself alive... through your empathy
Let me go!
Keeping myself alive... through your empathy
Keeping myself alive... through your empathy
Keeping myself alive... through your empathy
Keeping myself alive... through your empathy
Leave me alone!

[Outro]
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive
Keeping myself alive

About

This song bio is unreviewed

11th song on the album, and it talks about how the narrator is feeling lost. Cancer and people are the only things he knows or they feel they’re the same thing. People are the cancer. He feels lonely like there’s nothing to do. Running in circles no where to go. He’s only alive through other peoples empathy, but he also wants them to stop so he can die without anyone caring.
