I call it rebirth

"Under My Skin" is a heartfelt soul/R&B ballad sung from the perspective of a man dealing with the lingering presence of a past love. Though the relationship has ended, the emotional connection remains deeply rooted in his daily life. The lyrics express how his memory lives in his surroundings, movements, and inner thoughts—like a scar that won't heal or a silence that speaks volumes. Despite efforts to move on, he still feels shaped by his love and absence. The song explores themes of emotional residue, identity, and the pain of holding on to someone who is no longer there, all wrapped in a gentle, melancholic tone.

[Instrumental Intro]  
[30 seconds of soft piano and upright bass with ambient strings]

[Intro]  
I hear your name in silent rooms  
Like perfume caught in afternoon  
You left, but something still remains  
In every mirror, I see your face  

[Verse 1]  
Your hands once traced the lines I hide  
Now shadows walk where warmth had lied  
The sound of your breath won’t fade  
It lingers soft, a ghost in shade  
I wear the weight you left behind  
In silence stitched beneath my spine  

[Chorus]  
You’re under my skin, like a scar I can’t touch  
Like a whisper too loud, but I miss it too much  
I try to forget, but you're part of my name  
You're the fire and the ash in my veins  

[Verse 2]  
I lit the lights, I changed the bed  
But nothing cleans what your love bled  
I dress in calm, I speak in grace  
But still you haunt this hollow place  
The girl I was, you helped define  
Now she’s a dress that doesn’t fit right  

[Chorus]  
You’re under my skin, like a song out of tune  
Like a rain that keeps falling in the middle of June  
I try to forget, but you're stitched in my soul  
You're the silence that swallowed me whole  

[Bridge]  
Oh, I tried to run from the ghost in your name  
But love leaves a bruise you can't ever explain  
Now I move like a face in a painting that's torn  
And I sleep like the night was never born  

[Verse 3]  
My friends, they say that time will heal  
But they don’t know how deep it feels  
When someone carves themselves in you  
And walks away like it's nothing new  
You loved me loud, then disappeared  
And left your voice in my left ear  

[Reprise Chorus]  
You're under my skin, like the air when it’s still  
Like a promise that cuts more than it ever could fill  
I try to forget, but you're woven in tight  
You're the shadow that dances in light  

[Verse 4]  
I built a wall, I changed my name  
But every brick still speaks your flame  
You taught me love, then took it back  
Left me tracing your heart through every crack  
I smile in rooms I barely feel  
You left a wound that learned to kneel  

[Instrumental Bridge]  
; [30 seconds of melancholic piano and distant string swells, fading into silence]

[Outro]  
I breathe, but it’s not the same air  
I love, but I’m loving nowhere  
You left, but you never were gone  
Under my skin, you still hold on






Under My Skin

Without You.

fear of the fall

and when the light
creeps in through the blinds
and the shadows get to small
to hide behind

and when the fire
burns down your skin
and you start to wonder
if you'll ever fit in

then take a look around yourself
you're not the only book up on the shelf
if you don't leave
you'll never feel at home

the fear of the fall
made us lose our way
gotta move while we fight
for our better days
got no time
to wander off alone

the weight of it all
cut the plans we made
and we hold out the choice
till it's way to late
we cast a doubt on
what was set in stone
can't wander off alone

when the world
shows you gritted teeth
and it feels like you're tumbling
while everybody's on their feet

everybody's feeling like they're left behind
but you gotta mind your own to be satisfied
everybody's sharing their curated lifes
so everybody's feeling like they're left behind

fear of the fall
