skin yard – skins in my closet lyrics
i got several skins in me closet
none of which is the same
i got several ident-ties to be unfolded
who am i today?
the beggar, the priest
the thief, or the fog
the garbage on the street now
or the sc-m
i could be behind you with a knife
i could be there to take your life
i said, skins
it’s like ident-ty
skins…
now, i been getting up just around seven
i look at what i have, and if i’m going to heaven
but i been so bad, i don’t know what good is
i been living so low, i feel just like a fool
i got several skins in me closet
none of which, now, is the same
the beggar, the priest
the thief, or the fog
i said, who am i today?
skins…
all these ident-ties
what ident-ty do you have?
i look in the mirror, and what do i see?
i see eyes that lie unto thee
it’s sad that i laugh, and i know that i’m wrong
’cause i’m twisting around in my own
closet of skins
ident-ty hangs
the thief or the fog
the priest or the sc-m
am i standing behind you with a knife?
do i make you fear for your life?
skins in our closet
who are we today?
i said, skins…
skins at the party
in which we talk away
light lies in this darkness
at the party where we were inside the day
i said, now, who are you and me today?
the clothes you wear could be your just undoings
it could show someone else what you’re not meant to be doing
it could be a lie in which you’re living
look in the mirror…what is your giving?
giving what?
ident-ty!
skins!
ident-ty!
skins!
skins…
i have several skins in me closet
i had about twenty myths
i look at my face, i see the disgrace
of a man who doesn’t know where to begin
because, skins…
all i think about…ident-ty
the priest or the fog
the garbage or the sc-m
i could be holding a knife
do you fear for your life?
skins…
but now i say, “no more, no more, no more ident-ty…
no more closet of skins.”
i said, “no more skins in me closet–
i’m gonna be me today.”
