To Crawl Under One's Skin Songtext / Lyric

Isolated so long, blighted by the first frost
Longing for the warmth of human touch
Through this wall of ice I can see you

Callous only outside, from the kicking
And the beating down
Please rip them from my body, please

Glacier growing larger
Mirror growing darker
Do you see the blue

My forefront of consciousness
Has been ignored
The healing touch of time has abandoned me
Abandoned me

The longing brings me near, but the fear
Keeps me inches/worlds away

Reaching through the ice at last
But you feel the frost and run
Run from me back to the secure
You didn't belong here anyway

And I'm left still, still longing
Still cold
So cold
