Lyrics

Throw stones, breaking bones, then wondering why you run for cover

Throwing stones and breaking bones, then wondering why seeking shelter

You fight the world from inside

Fighting against the world from within

Lay down, playing dead to the pages just another wasted day in your mind

Lying down, feigning death to the pages, describing a wasted day in one's thoughts


You live to run away

Living with the inclination to escape

But fear is the hardest act to follow

Fear is challenging to overcome

Let me let you in

Inviting someone to share their inner self

Hold on another day

Enduring through another day

Face the truth it's hard to swallow

Facing a difficult truth that is hard to accept

It's time to begin, there's only one life

Emphasizing the importance of starting anew as life is limited

In your skin

The essence of life exists within one's own identity


Wake up, take a breath, remember why you're even breathing

Waking up, taking a breath, recalling the purpose of existence

You're still alive

A reminder of being alive

Give it, give it up, you're the only one believing in all of your lies

Advising to relinquish false beliefs, especially self-deception


You live to run away

Living with a tendency to avoid confronting challenges

But fear is the hardest act to follow

Highlighting the difficulty of overcoming fear

Let me let you in

Extending an invitation to open up emotionally

Hold on another day

Encouraging perseverance through another challenging day

Face the truth it's hard to swallow

Acknowledging the difficulty of accepting a harsh reality

It's time to begin, there's only one life

Emphasizing the urgency to start afresh, recognizing life's brevity

In your skin, in your skin

The importance of embracing and understanding one's own identity


You live to run away

Persisting in the pattern of escaping challenges

But fear is the hardest act to follow

Reiterating the difficulty of overcoming fear

Let me let you in

Inviting someone into one's inner world

Hold on another day

Encouraging endurance through another day

Face the truth it's hard to swallow

Acknowledging the challenge of facing an uncomfortable truth

It's time to begin, there's only one life

Stressing the importance of starting anew, recognizing life's brevity

In your skin, in your skin

The singular and irreplaceable nature of life within one's own identity
