Under the Skin (What is it)
I wonder what happens to me
That stirs me from inside, I wonder what it is
That runs under the skin, I wonder what it is
And reaches my face and makes me blush
And shows on my eyes, and betrays me
And aches my heart, breaks me down
What is hopeless to conceal
And no one has the right to refuse
And turns me into a homeless, makes me a beggar
What can’t be measured, and won’t ever be
What can’t be cured, and won’t ever be
What has no prescription…
I wonder what happens
That happens inside of us and shouldn't
That defies us, that rebels
That is like drinking a liquor that doesn’t quench
That is like the blazing warm from a ball
That not even ten commandments will pacify
Not even all lotions could soothe
Nor witchcraft, nor alchemy
Not even all the saints,
I wonder
What doesn’t rest, and won’t ever do
What doesn’t tire, and won’t ever do
What knows no bonds
I wonder what happens to me
That burns me from within, I wonder what it is
That disturbs my nights, I wonder what it is
That every shiver shakes me
That every fire burns me
That every sweat soaks me
That all my nerves are praying for
That all my bones are crying out for
And an unbearable agony brings me to my knees
What has no shame, and won’t ever have
What has no master, and won’t ever have
What knows no reason...
