Under My Skin

[Verse 1] I woke up warm in a cold room With the windows painted shut A little light under the doorway And a strange taste in my blood There was a sound behind the mirror There was a shape inside the grain There was a hymn beneath the floorboards Learning how to say my name [Pre-Chorus] Don't call the doctor Don't call the priest Something in the fever Knows something about me [Chorus] The sickness is real It learned how to pray It sleeps in the daylight And walks me away The sickness is real It sings when I breathe I tried not to answer But it sounded like me [Verse 2] I saw saints in the wallpaper I saw teeth inside the light I saw my face in the water And it almost looked right There was honey on the razor There was smoke under the tongue There was mercy in the damage There was poison in the lungs [Pre-Chorus] Don't call the doctor Don't call the priest Something in the fever Knows something about me [Chorus] The sickness is real It learned how to pray It sleeps in the daylight And walks me away The sickness is real It sings when I breathe I tried not to answer But it sounded like me
