Shed My Skin

Come on and take a ride
Across the border
To a place that once was mine
Out of focus
Out of order
Pictures from another time

On the outside
Turning lighter
So much darkness in my eyes
Gas or water
On the fire
Makes no difference
Something dies

So I take a piece of who I am
And stretch it thin
Every time I start to feel the walls
Closing in
I Shed My Skin

Come on and take a ride
On the dragon
Hiding out behind the lines
Piling bodies
On the wagon
Everyone's a friend of mine

But when I feel that bitter chill
In the wind
I swear that I can feel the room
Start to spin
So I Shed My Skin
I Shed My Skin, Oh

Through the smoke
Through the rubble
Through the crossfire - friends in need
On the inside
Of the bubble
We see what we choose to see - yeah.

Heart of Darkness
Hope and anger
The road to freedom paved with fear
Lead me back to
Where I came from
Somewhere far away from here

But the light to find my way back home
Is growing dim
And the sirens from behind my walls
Draw me in
So I Shed My Skin
I Shed My Skin
I Shed My Skin
