Skin Hunter Lyrics

1978, a loner on the freeway

Victim to your primordial side

Shattered glass and shallow mind

Temptation rules to bound and gag

Tossed in the back of a Cadillac

Cigarette stains and stale ash

Muffled panic and rope rash

Burn into mildew and oiled steel

Lost to direction, sound, or reality

Carried off to someplace else

Cruel and hollow, an earthly hell

I am not somebody else

I am the same as you could've been

Auctioned off my human shelf

Chained to a wall in the skin hunter's den

Free this body from my cold cell

Give back my strength and my free will

Slave to man, enslaved to taste

Please don't forget my name or face

I am not somebody else

Listen up now and hear me out

Sold straight off my human shelf

Break the silence in secret vows

Free this body from my cold cell

Give back my strength and my free will

Slave to man, enslaved to taste

Escape again from this foul place

Dull eyes, dead eyes

Return the light unto my sight

Needle, need holes

Channel my urge to fight back

Can't find, won't find

Fall farther into dry rot

Under, sunder

Broken bones from buckshot

Shed the thinner skin

Set fire to the den

Out or farther in

Identical twins

Bright eyes, cold ice

Harvester of my insides

Needle, blood holes

What did my skin look like

Emaciated, desecrated

Bury me in a dumpster

Beauty, wonder

This body is your own

Shed the thinner skin

Set fire to the den

Out or farther in

Identical twins
