I'm wearing a skin

But it's wearing too thin

And people are starting to see right in

They see the seeds

Of all my bad deeds

The sadness and cruelty for which my heart bleeds

They see how I fought

All the things I was taught

They see the illusion in every thought

This skin is too tight

This light is too bright

It's time to remove myself from your sight

But why should I hide

Who I am deep inside?

Is it fear of your loathing or is it just pride?

It's time to be bolder

To risk your cold shoulder

To shed my old skin for one even older
