In My Skin
Suburban Tribe Lyrics

I am so sick and tired of these boys
Fed up of boys always snooping around other people's affairs

For snooping around other people's business
Always poking around where they don't belong

Too quiet
Silent in their misdeeds

They don't make a sound
Performing their unpleasant activities without being heard

The way they're running this whole town
Their illicit operations are running the town like a behind-the-scenes puppet master

Head over heels they're running to hide
In a mad dash to conceal their illegal activities

They watch each other's back and poke each other's behind
They support each other while engaging in deceitful activities and are oblivious to the harm being caused

Feeling so scared of what they just might find
Living in constant fear of exposure and the consequences that follow

Don't turn a blind eye
Ignoring or avoiding the situation will only perpetuate the issue

Never turn a blind eye
It's important to acknowledge and take responsibility for the severity of the situation

See no evil
Pretending that everything is alright and not confronting the problem at hand

One justice to serve them all
A single system of justice should apply equally to everyone, regardless of their background or affiliations

Your claws in my skin
Being subjected to someone's aggression and abuse

Abuse me clean
The abuser causes harm without or without provocation

My time's wearing thin
Running out of time. Close to the breaking point

I'm all serene
Appearing calm, despite being on the verge of exploding with frustration and anger

I fall through the years
Regrets and feelings of disappointment, over the years, have begun to take a toll

A sweet oblivion
Seeking refuge in ignorance, oblivious to what is happening around you

Your cuts make me bleed for more
Being affected by repeated pain and brutality that generates a yearning for more.

C'mon just bring it on!
Continuing to be defiant, no matter what the circumstances

Pretty boys rolling in the mud
Attractive and wealthy men who engage in vulgar and unseemly behaviour

Noses up their butts
Think they're better than everyone else, filled with a sense of greed, hubris, and entitlement

Don't know how to stop
Unable to control their bad habits

Stirring the turds
Creating trouble and chaos without any initial incentive or purpose

Digging up the dirt
Searching for information or gossip that may harm people indiscriminately

While they're getting hurt
Injury and heartbreak are met with little or no concern for others' feelings or well-being.

Always hide
Hiding in shame and embarrassment when caught or confronted

Lurking in the dark
Choosing to operate in darkness and seclusion

They stumble and fall
Making mistakes and committing blunders

The way they are in their hearts
Their true nature will ultimately reveal themselves

Like a dog will bark at the fog
Making noise over things they don't comprehend

Totally lost
Those who are trapped in their evil and can't find their way out to do better.

One two three
Enumeration or counting doesn't provide real solutions.

Pick any number
Choosing numbers or trying to make some order from what is out of one's hands won't help anything.

The time is short when your days are numbered
There is little time left before bad choices catch up with you

It's so clear
Being obvious and apparent

You fear what you can't see
The unknown frightens people

Obvious signs so real you can't believe
Signs are in front of you and are real, but people ignore them

Even by a long shot
It's not even a remote possibility

You'll never catch me
Outwitting and evading capture is easy because of experience

Never lock me up
The artist refuses to be subservient to authority.

I'd rather burn in flames before you see my pain
Refuses to be vulnerable or show vulnerability.

A quick reminder of what you don't got
The singer is sure of their ability and skillset as opposed to others who are less self-assured.

You patronise me in vain
Any form of condescension will fail to work on the artist.
