Incubus - New Skin lyrics

Album: S.C.I.E.N.C.E. (1997)

At 1st I see an open wound
infected & disastrous.
It breathes chaotic catastrophe,
It cries to be renewed.(Flaming over!)
It is tears are the color of anger,
they dry to form a scab.
To the touch, it is stiff & resilient,
underneath, the new skin breathes.

It is all been saved,
with the exception for the right parts.
When will we be new skin?

As outwardly cliche as it may seem,
Yess- smth under the surface says, "C´est la vie."
It´s a circle, there´s a plan,
dead skin will atrophy itself & start again.
Look closely at that open wound,
see past what covers the surface.
Underneath chaotic catastrophe,
creation takes the stage.

Dead skin will atrophy itself & start again.(x3)

It is all been saved,
with the exception for the right parts.
When will we be new skin?

It is all been seen,
with the exception for what could be.
When will we be new skin?
[Spoken]
UNTIL THE 20th CENTURY
REALITY WAS EVERYTHING
HUMANS COULD TOUCH,
SMELL, SEE, AND HEAR.
SINCE THE INITIAL
PUBLICATION OF THE
CHARTED ELECTROMAGNETIC
SPECTRUM, HUMANS HAVE
LEARNED THAT WHAT THEY
CAN TOUCH, SMELL, SEE, AND
HEAR IS LESS THAN ONE
MILLIONTH OF REALITY.
[/Spoken]

Fallacious cognitions
spewed from televisions
do mould our decisions.
So stop & take a look,
and you will see what i see now.

It is all been saved,
with the exception for the right parts.
When will we be new skin?

It is all been seen,
with the exception for what could be.
When will we be new skin?
