Morris, Rae - Skin Lyrics






Deep in the core of a broken one
I spy the light of a wounded sun
That keeps you from drowning
Keeps you from drowning

Way beneath the weak surface of it all
I spy a girl only three foot tall
That keeps me from drowning
She keeps me from drowning in it all

With the will to stay
And the will to stand still

We break the rules and listen to our own skin
With a visible scar in a broken sidecar
We break the rules and listen to our own skin
We break our hearts and pretty much everything

After the dark and endless wars
I realise that I'm fighting a cause
That ends with us drowning
Ends with us drowning in it all

With the will to stay
And the will to stand still

We break the rules and listen to our own skin
With a visible scar in a broken sidecar
We break the rules and listen to our own skin
We break our hearts and pretty much everything

With the same old star and the same old sun
Built to keep us both in the same old love
And when the present tense meets the present time
Built to keep our worlds in line

We break the rules and listen to our own skin
With a visible scar in a broken sidecar
We break the rules and listen to our own skin
We break our hearts and pretty much everything

    What an ethereal voice, wow. Just sublime - has the power to transport the listener to another world. I looked her up after hearing her voice on my son's clean bandit album. She is a one off - original, enigmatic even, with the gift of creating such beautiful music and lyrics.

  57. J.... ....

    Great song!

  58. N.... L....

    I heard this song on the trailer for The Legacy so looked it up. Love it. I imagined singer to be Norwegian as she sounds very scandanavian (guess that's why it was used for the trailer for a Danish programme). Nice surprise to see she's English. Wonderful haunting song.

  59. A.... S....

    This song is amazing

  60. K.... C....

    Beautiful.

  61. a.... m....

    T.... A....

    T.... A....

    TeaTimeTingles ASMR kassim kassim and kassim the jai are more

  64. S.... ....

    Epic emotional journey with you.

  65. D.... C....

    To me this song is about two people, both in dead relationships with other people.  They find each other by sensing their mutual ache and brokenness.  They share one night of passion that touches a place inside both of them they thought was long gone.  Tragically, they choose to stay in their bad relationships because they are not strong enough to leave.

  66. A.... H....

    saw Rae Morris at George Ezra and seriously fell in love with her voice, absolute beauty and not to mention I can't stop listening to this song and closer!! I'll be telling everyone about her, lovely girl and defiantly deserves a shot! 

  67. S.... ....

    Parts of this song remind me of a old song i used to listen to and i cant remember what it is!, its doing my head in! Its at 2:05 and again at 2:12

    S.... ....

    You must mean the "middle eight" part....

    S.... ....

    Me too! I can't remember!!! ☹

  68. J.... S....

    I love this.

  70. M.... P....

    I use to study history and women in college. History eventually got boring, never graduated, you know. This woman right here ladies and gentlemen is a prime example as to why. How the hell am I to focus when I'm confronted with such elegance and organic beauty? 

  71. w.... t....

    the lyrics are incredibly heartbreaking yet so uplifting at the same time... I love it!!

  72. l.... ....
