Shed My Skin

(albüm: Brutal Dawn - 2017)

When the morning comes gonna shed my skin
And find us a brand new place to begin
I know it's a long way back from here
I've been scrubbing at the stain for fourteen years

Cold iron door echoes on the block tonight
Through my locked down body, locked down heart and mind
One foolish act of indifference
Since then day by day I've been chained to its consequence

Just one hour of sunlight outside the door
Crippled by mind numbing fear in my thoughts
Time in slow motion as the cell goes black
5,000 long nights of terror that I never want back

When the warden comes to unlock the door
I'm gonna put some miles between me and these walls
Stop in a silent town where my life can mend
And start again, we can start again

Will you bring your lover's quiet
When you lay down beside me and put your skin on mine?
We could wring a new life from this silent town
Then I'll set my mind to bringing you around

When the morning comes gonna shed my skin
And find us a brand new place to begin
I know it's a long way back from here
I've been scrubbing at the stain for fourteen years
Scrubbing at the stain
I've been scrubbing at the stain for fourteen years
Still scrubbing at the stain after all these years
Been scrubbing at the shame for 14 years
