Lyrics
Some days I let my demons win
I hate living in my skin
I obsess over the smallest little things
I run miles everyday cause
I’m self conscious bout my weight
Sometimes I say the dumbest things
Why why why
Wish that I could crawl
Crawl out of my skin
Reinvent myself
But where do begin?
All my stupid flaws
The hope I can’t let in
I know it’s all because
I don’t know how to fix
Living in my skin
Skin
Skin
My mind turns into a maze
I can’t find the fire escape
I go through this everyday
They say your body
Is a temple
But why does mine feel
Like it’s a rental?
I think there’s problems with my mental
I just don’t feel right
Wish that I could crawl
Crawl out of my skin
Reinvent myself
But where do begin?
All my stupid flaws
The hope I can’t let in
I know it’s all because
I don’t know how to fix
Living in my skin
Skin
Skin
Living in my skin
Skin
Skin
Wish my inner dialogue was less chatty
Wish I could shut it up and be happy
Wish I didn’t care about these thoughts at all
Wish that I could crawl
Crawl out of my skin
Reinvent myself
But where do begin?
All my stupid flaws
The hope I won’t let in
I know it’s all because
I don’t know how to fix
Living in my skin
Skin
Skin
Living in my skin
Skin
Skin
Living in my
Skin
This song... really hit home for me.❤
As a kid, I was *conditioned* to believe I was a failure, a burden on those I loved and so I hated myself and thought myself unworthy of love. My parents were abusive and neglected me until I turned 18 when they literally left me for dead.🥺
I spent 4 years fighting to survive on the streets while also remaking myself in the hopes of gaining their love and approval. That didn't work. Eventually, I started to build a life of my own.😌
I just graduated with 2 bachelors degrees, I serve a public official, and I have proudly supported hundreds of youth in their own college journey as well as helped improve the equity of the services that saved my life when I was homeless.😮💨
All of this is to say though... I have deep scars and some open wounds that will never heal... some that you can see and others that you can't. As this rental body fails despite my youth and I confront mortality, the past is both a scar and a weight, that makes each day feel like climbing Everest... but I do it.🥺
Some days, and many of those were while I was homeless, I can't do it without you and your music.
You are a blessing and please never stop using your gift and sharing it with the world. You never know who might be waking up in the cold or the heat and be unable to move because of the emotional weight but your music may he what gets them to the shelter where they can find rest, water, and maybe even community. 🥹
Thank you... for the tremendous hope you bring to my heart even on dark days like today. I am truly grateful. ❤
i wish you the best life, you deserve it 🥺
Ik the feeling kinda my mom molded me into what she wanted me to be and I had let her and the rest the family shape me however they pleased and I thought that was me and then I figured out a couple years ago that it wasn't and it hurt still not sure if who I am but ik my family hates my guts for the opinions I've shared cuz I refuse to stay quite about somethings I'm fine acting that we are some big ol happy family and but ik they won't accept me for some parts of me hell they don't even love me at this point and brushed of me telling them my brother tried to ease me ad a lie me being suicidal as a lie and that was really the last straw I can't remember a lot about my life but ik my family hasn't treated me right im planning on leaving them when I'm 18 if they don't start being better people and im scared honestly ik ill be kicked out if they find out I'm bi I just wana finish hight school with out bring called slurs again or my family trying to hurt me again
What an incredible story. Thank you so much for sharing that with us. It just goes to show how healing music can be. It was for me when I was young and had my own issues of depression and anxiety, music was always my escape. I'm so grateful that our music is now that medicine for others. Good for you for taking your circumstances and fighting for a better life and making the best out of it all. Much love to you and a lot more music is on the way. ❤
@@HunterNeyorApollo It took me a long time to realize that my parents were wrong about me and even longer to be strong enough and ready enough to walk away and let the door shut and lock behind me. Seems like you're ahead of me on that front! Just make sure when you leave you are able to take care of your basic needs. Homelessness and food insecurity can be just as mentally scarring and more life-threatening than abusive parental relationships. Either way, keep pushing in the right direction. Onward and away!
@@newmedicinerock Thank you! I am looking forward to even more music from you guys!
You guys are Amazing
Thank you!
@@newmedicinerock i love listening to your music actually I just listen to one of your songs earlier today because after my cat died
@@Alexisburns916 So sorry to hear about your cat. Thank you for listening to our music, I hope it helps through hard times. I think you're gonna love Skin
I which could crawl out my skin reinvent my self 🤞🤞🤞🤞👍👍👍👑👑👑
@@newmedicinerock and my sister loves your music and sending a bunch of love from Alexis and Brooklyn in Kentucky ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ and I really wish I could see you live but I can’t and maybe someday you can play live in Kentucky someday
And I know that this is a random question but what was the inspiration behind this song I would really love to know
Thank you, New Meds!!! ❤❤❤
Wow, luv it!
Thank you so much!
I honestly have no clue how you dont have more subs, this sounds great and the lyrics are creative.
In all honesty just keep working at it and keep making better songs, once a year goes by you'll definitely have a big name for yourself on CZcams 👍
Thank you for saying that! We actually had a lot more subs but we were on a record label that owned or channel and had to start back from zero a few years ago. We are growing back fast though! CZcams has been such a great place to spread our music and having people like you supporting us. Lot more songs coming soon!
This is another great song that they have made.
I think it's one of our best. What's your favorite song of ours?
@@newmedicinerockyour song that is called Fire up the night to me is the best song then Die trying then this new song. Your songs are honestly the best rock and roll songs I have heard. I really love this new song and your others. Keep going.❤
@@Swimmer-j1x Thank you so much!

@@robertjames4476 hell yes thank you so much!!!
I saw you guys posted this magnificent song, but I didn't bother listening to it until right now, a week after you guys posted it.
This song really hits home, and probably hits home for some of us also.
-- "Some days I let my demons win. I hate living in my skin. I obsess over the smallest little things."
The constant worry over the smallest little things. The anxiety that follows that worry. Gets to the point where the thoughts get too overwhelming. Along with the anxiety, follows the things you do. I hate myself because of what I do. But what I do is because what my parents do. And the problems of that follow.
-- "I run miles everyday cause I’m self conscious bout my weight. Sometimes I say the dumbest things."
Constant feeling of "I need to do this!", "I need to do that!", "I can't enjoy myself right now! I have to get this done!" Rushing around the house with my hands kept in an on-going motion.
Anxiety gives the constant urge to destroy my skin. An anxiety factor that I have. Sometimes I don't feel self-conscious about it. As well other times, I do. I feel self-conscious about it, feeling self-conscious about how I look and feel as a person.
-- "Wish that I could crawl. Crawl out of my skin. Reinvent myself. But where do I begin?"
Having the thoughts of hating myself and hating living in the household I live in right now. Whenever I want to calm down from all of this stress I put on myself, I listen to music, draw, write. Even spill out my troubles to my long-distance partner who is the one who is there for me whenever I need them. I wish I can reinvent myself to become a better me. But the thought of "Where do I begin?" Is still there. But it's still being worked on.
-- "All my stupid flaws. The hope I can’t let in. I know it’s all because I don’t know how to fix living in my skin."
I feel like that I can't fix living in my own skin because of the loss of hope from whatever I do to myself, or others, and what is happening at this very moment with these on-going problems.
-- "My mind turns into a maze. I can’t find the fire escape. I go through this everyday."
Everyday it feels like running through a maze, a maze where every turn is full of anxious thoughts. And all those anxious thoughts pile up on one another where you can't see the escape. With the parental figures I live with, it gives me a whole new pile of to deal with. And it soon gets too overwhelming for me to get a grip of.
"-- They say your body is a temple. But why does mine feel like it’s a rental? I think there’s problems with my mental. I just don’t feel right."
They say that your body is a temple, but it doesn't really feel like that when you may go through being knocked down, by words or physically knocked down. And maybe by the people who raised you. Each and every time you get knocked down again, the feeling of worthlessness is because of it. I hate myself and the problems that follow. And I know that others go through these same problems just the same
-- "Wish my inner dialogue was less chatty. Wish I could shut it up and be happy. Wish I didn’t care about these thoughts at all."
One may have all these racing thoughts of random talking, and sometimes your mouth may ramble on and on about some little thing you just thought of. Or you may usually do this with anyone you get use to more and more when you're with them.
Anxious thoughts can be apart of that. You just want a break from all of it, all you just want to do it shut them up so you can be happy without them weighing you down.
I'm sorry for all of this reading. Just thought of writing it while listening to this song on repeat
You may ignore all this reading, I just wrote it because I wanted to. You don't have to read it all just because I wrote it in here. Just had the thought.
Thank you. Though I only began listening to you randomly this year, I love the songs that you have created
And I also love the artwork!
Thank you so much for taking the time to listen!
And thanks about the artwork, my wife made it!
