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 darker 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

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

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 the walls
Draw me in
So I shed my skin
I shed my skin
I shed my skin
