A recorded reading of “Immortal Skin”. If the player does not load, use the original audio source.
You see the shine, but not the cost— a body gained, a future lost. This face won’t crack, but time still wins— behind the glow are mortal sins. I never aged, but always died— a hundred times, with you inside.
Lyrics
You touched my face And time collapsed My breath forgot What came next No wrinkle stays No scar appears But still I feel A thousand years You call it beauty I call it debt A love that never Can forget Immortal skin But aching soul I stay alive But never whole No age, no fade Just endless spin You gave me light Then locked me in Immortal skin But always thin You see the glow Not what’s within I taste the stars But not their heat I watch the world On phantom feet This pretty shell It never cracks But underneath Are all my lacks You call it gift But it confines The cost of love Is not just time Immortal skin But aching soul I stay alive But never whole No age, no fade Just endless spin You gave me light Then locked me in Immortal skin But always thin You see the glow Not what’s within Every mirror Tells a lie Frozen beauty Meant to die Immortal skin But never free You loved a ghost That looks like me No age, no break Just quiet sin A pretty cage You locked me in
