I wanted it all
The feel, the taste
It’s not enough
A screen, a face
Until I turn, turn over another page
Some fear his skin
Some fear his eyes
Too old to go pull on his chain
Too old to go see him try
Gonna step, step up on another ledge
Until I fall, fall off from a narrow edge
Oh, when it’s enough to know it’s not enough just to know his name
Never growing up, grow up, never be the same
Never, no it’s not enough just to know his name
Knowing when your time is up
Gonna step, step up on another ledge
Some fear his skin
Some fear his eyes
(Too old)
Some fear his skin
Some fear his eyes
Another suicide, another battle of an age
Another death, dead, a lonely queer, alone again
Another sad stat, an algorithm, no remains
Another time, another place, and no reply again
Another other is another mess upon a grid
But until then - turn off!

Here I stand naked again
Here I stand naked again
And all the skin
And all the skin
Is just skin
In the end
Here I stand naked again
Here I stand naked again
And all the skin
Is just skin
And all the skin
Is just skin
In the end
Here let me show you
My skin
Here let me show you
My skin
It’s all for you
