Layers

One by one it stings my eyes
Each is gone each in disguise
Smiling so aware
Precious moments oh so rare
Boiled thoughts evaporated, gone
Can't bear the loss of never loving you
So jaded, so wrong

Stripping my skin
Over again

Back when they were teaching me to color inbetween the lines
In the cushions of my soul, I found a remote
And now it's changing time
Peeling layers
Layers
Layers

Stripping my skin
Over again
Shivering pale
Under my nails

Back when they were teaching me to color inbetween the lines
In the cushions of my soul, I found a remote
And now it's changing time
Peeling layers
Layers
Layers

It's like a drug not lasting enough
Now I know to use my fingers to love
Rocked back, forth
Cornered, alone
Purging mind feeds a starving soul
When I'm stripping my skin
Over again
Stripping my skin
Over again

Back when they were teaching me to color inbetween the lines
In the cushions of my soul, I found a remote
And now it's changing time

Peeling layers
