Laura Gibson
Skin, Warming Skin
Secrets spun as thin as summer threads
Hidden in the hems of summer dresses
"It's only skin, warming skin," you said
Innocence can bow and kiss your forehead
How the heat can beat beat beat it from your breath
Go on leave the seeds to break and swell

Tell me all your troubles, I'll tell mine
Show me every weapon you've been hiding
"It's only skin, warming skin," I'll say
Innocence can swallow every silence
Come come, color all your visions red
Come come, has the darkness lost its sway?

It's only skin, warming skin
It's only skin, warming skin
It's only skin, warming skin
Only skin, warming skin
