Blood, Skin And Bone

What do think when you look at me
What do you see?
Does anything change
When you hear me speak?
If I change the clothes I wear
Or the style or colour of my hair
Does it alter your perception?
I bet it would if you didn’t know me

Blood, skin and bone is all that lies underneath
Blood, skin and bone is at the heart of what we are
It’s what lies beneath every façade, every human being

We are just nature’s machines
We can be creators but we can be destroyers
It’s up to us which path we take
We can embrace or embark upon a journey of destruction
The future of our existence depends upon our actions

Blood, skin and bone is all that lies underneath
Blood, skin and bone is at the heart of who we are
It’s what lies beneath every façade, every human being

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s showtime

Roll up, roll up, the human freak show is here
Once again in all its perverted glory
You can vent all your prejudice
You can manifest all your fear
By showing a complete lack of understanding
For your fellow homo sapiens
And complete for all your worldly surroundings
Alas, it seems so little has changed
Over thousands of years of so called evolution
In fact now it even maybe so much worse

It’s a sobering thought
When you think of what it is that makes us
It doesn’t matter where you are from
Or the size or the colour of your skin
We must be so careful not to judge
Each other so quickly and so harshly

Blood, skin and bone is all that lies underneath
Blood, skin and bone is the heart of what we are
Blood, skin and bone is all that lies beneath our flesh
Blood, skin and bone is the heart of what we are
