A Rumor Of Skin Lyrics

You deleted your evidence
You depleted yourself
Face down wasn’t good enough
You had to give me your hell

Not much more inside of me left to lose
No one hates me quite like you
Let me show you the proof

I don’t mind my own self-loathing
And I don’t need help from you
I know I’m lonely
But what am I supposed to do?

You believe that you’re innocent
You’re relieving your guilt
The Jury seems to be deadlocked
Look at the drama you built

Seems like everyone’s guaranteed damaged truth
What makes someone hate like you?
And is there something to prove?

But I don’t mind my own self-loathing
And I don’t need help from you
I know I’m lonely
But what am I supposed to do?

Oh, I don’t mind my own self-loathing
And I don’t need help from you
(I don’t mind my own)
I know I’m lonely, but what am I supposed to do
(I don’t want to know)
With all my coldest memories of you?
(I won’t give my all)
I know I’m angry… and I don’t know need help from you
(I don’t want to know)

A Rumor Of Skin

This is a track from House Of Gold And Bones: Part 1, the first half of a double concept album about a character called The Human who wakes up in a mysterious world, where he comes across various characters including one who is his doppleganger called Allen. The Human is instructed by his look-a-like to find the House of Gold and Bones before the before an event called the Conflagration takes place. Frontman Corey Taylor told Artist Direct how this song fits into the storyline. "It's basically the first meeting between Allen and The Human," he said. "When I'm hearing that, I see the moment when they're in the building. There's the smoky mess that will eventually coalesce into Allen holding the cigarette and smoking. That's what I hear in my head as that happens."

"As he starts to coalesce, that's where the real back and forth starts to come about." continued Taylor."There are three different voices going on. There's one which is Allen, one which is The Human, and one in the background that's doing the melody line from 'Gone Sovereign,' I don't know if people really catch that."

Taylor told Artist Direct the song's main riff came from an accident. "I was sitting there playing guitar," he explained. "I did this slide down to go to an open e-chord, and I missed it by half a fret. I built everything on top of that. I had the melody for the chorus, but I even had the chords for it. Putting that together was really awesome."

The House of Gold & Bones Lyrics

Oh this is what its coming to
Another water loo
You wanna put me underground
'Cause I'm overused
Giving up that your pulling me down
I will make you come unglued

You can cover me in sovilties
What an apogee
I can fake it 'cause you'll never be real to me
I'm innocent, I know I'm nearly in
But if I can't understand I will never win

The more I know my mind
The more I leave you all behind
Living in the shadow of doubt
I'll never obey, but I'll always decide

Oh my heart survived
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the house of gold and bones

Oh old day epitome
Of all the shit in me
And I'm surrounded by the people I will never be
Either way I've got nothing to prove
To a song of a bitch like you
Well this is hell and I wanted it
But I'm an idiot
Its a feat 'cus I know I'm illegitimate

Kill it
I wanna see it
I wanna feel it
I will be here forever

The more I know my mind
The more I leave you all behind
Living in the shadow of doubt
I'll never obey, and I'll always decide

Oh my heart survived
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the House of Gold and Bones

The more I know my mind
The more I leave this world behind
Living in the shadow of doubt
I'm already gone, I'm already alive

Oh my heart survived
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the house of gold and bones

Oh my heart survived
I gotta do it alone
I will burn alive in the house of gold and bones
In the house of gold and bones
In the house of gold and bones

The House of Gold & Bones

This track closes House Of Gold And Bones: Part 2, the second half of a double concept album about a man called The Human struggling to find his place in the world. Frontman Corey Taylor's narrative is intended to be universal, speaking to everyone's hopes and fears. He told Artist Direct about this cut: "That was the last song we put together before we went into the studio," he said. "Thematically, it was almost tailor-made for us to do it this way. It was basically made up of flipping certain riffs from 'Gone Sovereign' and 'Absolute Zero' and sort of playing them backwards in a weird way. If you listen to it thematically, you can see where some of it backwards, but you have to really listen to it."

"We needed the outro," he continued. "We needed that moment where the human has made his decision and he's sticking with it no matter what that decision is. That's all open to the reader. You need that moment. You need the big crescendo. You need the final act to draw you in and leave you with that closure. That was the perfect song to do it with."
