As part of my shoot with my sister, Tiffany, we did a little project that means a lot to both of us. While listening to the song "Skin", by Sixx A.M., I had a idea to do a shoot wherein I would write the lyrics of the song literally ON someone's skin, and take various pictures. I may re-do this shoot soon, and expand on it, but until then, here it is! (Along with the lyrics to the song.)
Skin
Paint yourself a picture
Of what you wish you looked like
Mayby then they just might
Feel an ounce of your pain
Come into focus
Step out of the shadows
It's a losing battle
There's no need to be ashamed
Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart
Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you got
That you are not
You are not, your skin
When they start to judge you
Show them your true colors
And do unto others
As you'd have done to you
Just rise above this
Kill them with your kindness
Ignorance is blindness
They're the ones that stand to lose
Cause they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angel
Living in your heart
Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you got
That you are not your skin
Well they don't even know you
All they see is scars
They don't see the angels
Living in your heart
Let them find the real you
Buried deep within
Let them know with all you got
That you are not
That
you
are
not
your
skin

Anyway, hope you enjoyed our little project! And if you haven't heard it, I highly recommend checking out Sixx A.M.'s new album. There is a lot of meaning behind the songs, and a strong, positive message- and it totally rocks out, too! ;)
