Lox Chatterbox Under My Skin Lyrics
Under My Skin by Lox Chatterbox
[Intro]
Yeah
Look
[Verse 1]
I got this piece of me missing
Like I got a void that I can't seem to fill (fill)
I guess it's effects of the past
And the chemical residues, lingering still
Thinking about it got me feeling nauseous at night
When I'm up loosing sleep with the chills (chills)
Went to the doctor, got a prescription of something
I couldn't afford to get filled (figures)
Sounds about right
Think I've been high over half of my life (more than that)
Ask anybody around me
I've never been one of those abstinent types (that's true)
But this song isn't about me (uhuh)
It's a song for a friend (friend)
And the day that she cooked up the heaviest dose
And filled up the syringe (filled up the syringe)
[Refrain]
I've got you under my skin
I've got you taking from my soul tonight
Look
[Verse 2]
She's tired of it
The lies that get so heavy on her mind
It sits, she tries to keep forgetting
But she can't no more
Of course she feels a course in her bloodstream
Getting so dead (so dead)
If there really is a way to get out of the misery
Then it'll be a myth to her
She ain't ever heard of it
"Fuck that, fuck this, fuck everything"
All she ever thinks
So she reach for the tourniquet (tourniquet, tourniquet)
Like "One last time, one last time and I change, I swear!
Please, oh my God, let me stay alive!
I'll never put a needle in my veins, I swear!"
Couldn't even count
How many times that she had to make that deal
Make that deal
Got demons in the backseat
Creeping up
Never let them take that wheel (take that wheel, them take that wheel)
[Refrain]
I've got you under my skin
I've got you taking from my soul tonight
[Verse 3]
I've been speculating, thinking daily about it
Nobody around figured out why she did it (yuh)
Stuck on that shit, keep her vision so clouded
Escaping this world to a place you can't visit (bye)
Higher and hotter than 4th of July
Everytime she was sticking that shit in her arm
Filled up with scars
Can't even look anywhere
Without seeing like nights filled with stars
And nobody really know what she was thinking of
Probably tired of living inside a sinking hole
Maybe why nobody 'round her really knew the truth
'Cause she never opened up, she would keep it closed
She need help, I'ma spare y'all the details
Like what? Got a dealer on speed dial?
Got her hooked and it's getting too deep now
Took one last breath and she laid down (down, down, down)
[Refrain]
I've got you under my skin
I've got you taking from my soul tonight
[Bridge]
Don't let it
Don't let it, don't, don't let it
Don't let it get under your skin, skin
Let it, your, let it get under your skin, skin
Don't
D-d-d-don't let it
Don't let it get under your skin
Don't let it get under your ski-
Don't let it, don't let it get under your skin (skin, skin)
[Refrain]
I've got you under my skin
I've got you taking from my soul tonight
[Refrain]
I've got you under my skin
I've got you taking from my soul tonight
Yeah
