No Comfort From Your Skin

I've recently come across this song by Boy Cried Wolf which I actually like a lot, and since it features lyrics from Nicky (or so google says), I'd love to know what the song actually says.
I managed to undestand a few bits, but I'd love to know if the lyrics are available somewhere.
Thanks

Also features James of course, great song.

Here's my best effort at transcribing the lyrics for you, I'm pretty sure with most of it except the end of the second line ("and then I'll follow too"?).

________________________________________

Get no comfort from your skin
God's forsaken you, and then I'll follow too
Oh somebody help me save me from myself
Save me from myself, save me from myself

You're not made for this world
You're on your own again
And you always feel a pain, yeah the feelings stay the same
It's written in her name

It breaks my heart
More and more each day
It takes my heart
Further away

She's picking me apart
With the weight of her words
And killing my desire

Close down your blackened eyes
There's nothing left to hide
Oh, life goes on, guilt remains, it never goes away
It'll never go away

Nothing makes much sense to me
We've all made some mistakes
Oh, you didn't have to break, no you didn't have to leave,
Why did you have to leave?

It breaks my heart
More and more each day
It takes my heart
Further Away

She's picking me apart
With the weight of her words
And killing my desire

*guitar solo*

It breaks my heart
More and more each day
It takes my heart
Further Away

She's picking me apart
With the weight of her words
And killing my desire

It breaks my heart
(You get no comfort from your skin)
Oh, it breaks my heart
(You get no comfort from your skin)
You know it breaks my heart
(You get no comfort from your skin)
You know it breaks my heart
My heart, my heart

It breaks my heart
(You get no comfort from your skin)
You know it breaks my heart
My heart, my heart
Yeah it breaks my heart

You know it breaks my heart
My heart

He also blatantly stole the melody of the chorus for the INWJTEOL b-side Distractions.

What's James contribution? It's not mentioned here
Thank you so much, Porco, I really appreciate your effort! It actually sounds like something that Nicky would write.

Thanks to whoever moved my thread to the right place, I honestly had no idea where to post this

You're welcome.

James is on lead guitar and some of the backing vocals (the "(You get no comfort from your skin)"s for example, take another listen!)

It actually had a physical release, The Firebrand EP. James also does some harmonies on The Firebrand (the track).

I'll post a pic in a sec.

This song actually never gets old. Verse lyrics are Nicky, chorus is Wayne. I always thought James' vocals were pretty audible.

I really like The Firebrand EP and Forever Is a Dirty Word grew on me, then absolutely nothing. Anyone know if they're up to anything at the moment?

I'm sure there was meant to be an EP this time last year. Don't think it ever surfaced.

Thanks a lot, Porco, you're a star! I apologise for the dumb question then, but unfortunately I'm not always able to hear the whole song without my earphones on cos I'm partially deaf, I'll definitely try listening to it again and properly later tonight

Pretty cool. I'd take more BCW if it was forthcoming.

It's all pretty new to me, so no, I haven't.
Thanks!
