Raw to the Touch

from Itch Ecstasy by Homeskin

/

lyrics

Need the sun to soothe my soul so I can feel whole again. Open the curtain and see the brown grass unkept again. Torrential rocks met with laughter by the children across the street with no friends. Sibling co-dependency deserving to seek more than the house that sits away from the bright heat.

I can't take it anymore, every touch sets my skin on fire. I have to get out of this house, and into the open air. The sun will soothe my aching flesh,
and the wind will cool my burning blood. This is the only way I'll survive,
until this house is gone for good.

I told a story differently 30 or so times and you still couldn’t hear. I kept the light on for the fourth night in a row hoping someone would sit here. Then one night someone did. A shadow of my former self in the lamp’s spotlight. Slowly radiating into something human and in pure ecstasy. Repurposing old dead skin into something new and invigorating. We share a drink of water, creamy and bittersweet.

The bugs find their way in and crawl over our trail of sheddings and up our legs to feed. Yours, sweeter. Mine, burning.
