Under The Skin Lyrics

[Intro]
(Oooh)
(Oooh)
(Oooh)

[Verse 1]
Such a wonderful time
You destroyer of everything
The disrespect continues to poison me
It's not survival it's your lack of sanity
At least I can say
I'm okay it took a toll on me

[Verse 2]
You thought you were immune
To your own threat
The damage is done
But I'm not done with you yet
You ran away tail between the legs
I cannot wait to forgive you
But I will never forget

[Pre-Chorus]
The petty tyrant that you've always been!

[Chorus]
Under the ice waiting to strike
I'm under the skin
Under the ice waiting to rise
I'm undеr the skin
Flight or fight all the time I alrеady won
Flight or fight all the time I already won
Under the ice waiting to strike
[Verse 3]
I can back it all up
I've been writing every single thing
But I'm tired of all this adrenaline
Flight or fight all the time I already won
I try to calm down but there's always more

[Verse 4]
Creeping under the skin
I'm fighting a beast
That you created in me
At least I can tell it like it is
I cannot wait to forgive you
So you cease to exist

[Bridge]
Here I am under the skin
Here I am. I'm the monster
Here I am under the skin
Here I am under the skin
Here I am. I'm the monster
Here I am under the skin

[Chorus]
Under the ice waiting to strike
I'm under the skin
Under the ice waiting to rise
I'm under the skin
Flight or fight all the time I already won
Flight or fight all the time I already won
Under the ice waiting to strike
[Post-Chorus]
It's not survival it's your lack of sanity
At least I can say
I'm okay it took a toll on me
I'm okay it took a toll on me

[Outro]
Toll on me, toll on me, toll on me.....

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
