We're hiding behind skin that's too tough

Sometimes to avoid getting hurt, we walk around with spikes in our skin like porcupines in an extreme and desperate attempt to build a barrier between those whom we really care for and ourselves. We distance ourselves from them for the only selfish reason- to be protected from heartbreaks. And in the course of pushing others away, we hurt them instead, ultimately bringing a greater pain and the worst agony to ourselves. All that we take away from it is piercing regret.


You're in the dark
There's no one left to call
And sleep's your only friend
But even sleep

Can't hide you from all those tears
And all the pain and all the days
You wasted pushin' them away
It's your life, it's time you face it
