1998 Substitute Skin

90s GrungeRuntime 03:19
[Verse 1]

Camera kid with a cheer squad bite

Cuts every truth into front-page spite

Star boy stares at his jersey like chains

Goth girl sleeps through the rumor rain

Bad kid selling powder in pens

New girl smiling trying to make new friends

[Pre-chorus]

School begins with everything in place

But something crawls behind the teacher’s face

[Chorus]

Eyes up, don’t blink

Don’t let it get in

Same face, wrong thing

Moving under substitute skin

Stay alert, stay sharp

Keep your back to the wall

If the whole school smiles

Don’t trust them at all

Eyes up, don’t blink

Something hides in substitute skin

[Verse 2]

Football field with a twitching prize

Science room under microscope eyes

Call it parasite, call it new

Call it anything before it takes you

Lounge door open just enough

To see the nurse go cold and stuffed

Parasite to ear, mouth to grin

Now all faculty has a creature within

[Pre-chorus]

School begins with everything in place

But something crawls behind the teacher’s face

[Chorus]

Eyes up, don’t blink

Don’t let it get in

Same face, wrong thing

Moving under substitute skin

Stay alert, stay sharp

Keep your back to the wall

If the whole school smiles

Don’t trust them at all

Eyes up, don’t blink

Something hides in substitute skin

[Breakdown]

GYM LIGHTS BUZZ

BLEACHERS GRIND

LOCKERS SHAKE

SHOW ME YOUR EYES

The pretty face peels

The wet thing stands

Whole dead planet

In teenage hands

WHO IS HUMAN?

WHO IS HOST?

WHO GOT QUIET?

WHO GOT CLOSE?

Body to lockers

Bone to steel

Bleachers bite forward

Make the queen kneel

[Final chorus]

Eyes up, don’t blink

Don’t let it get in

Same face, wrong thing

Moving under substitute skin

Stay alert, stay sharp

Keep your back to the wall

If the whole school smiles

Don’t trust them at all

Eyes up, don’t blink

Something hides in substitute skin
