Sharon Van Etten - New Skin lyrics

[Verse 1] Lay off me would ya I'm just tryin to take this new skin for a spin Pray for me would ya I'm just nervous bout my family filing in Ready to wrap me up Ready to love me In this new skin I'm fillin in [Chorus] Who's that trying to speak for me? What is it that they claim to be? A child of God much like yourself You will find me right where I fell [Verse 2] I am a tired woman In January I will just be twenty three In Kansas City I was undressed and bested by an airtight floor Then it said, “By the power in me vested” And wrapped me in this new skin I'm dyin for [Chorus] Who's that trying to speak for me? What kind of Love do they claim to be? A child of God much like yourself You'll still find me right where I fell Who's that trying to speak for me? What kind of love do they claim to be? A child of God much like yourself You'll still find me right where I fell [Outro] The darkness fears What darkness knows But if you've never known the darkness Then you're the one who fears the most The darkness fears What darkness knows But if you've never known the darkness Then you're the one who fears the most The darkness fears What darkness knows But if you've never known the darkness Then you're the one who fears the most But if you do not know the darkness Then you're the one who fears the most But if you do not know the darkness Then you're the one I fear the most
