Here I lie
crawling and squirming
imploding inside
trying to hide
I can't get out
can hear myself snivel
the mirror shows sin
can't get out of my skin
biting and scraping
my mind is shaping
a mask of myself
that's totally raping
me and I see
there's no need to be
me anymore
and what I stand for.
So I begin
to rip of my skin
forming a new
costume of sin
And as I become
a new shining sun
my old ego is
totally gone.
New born...
! ! FAKE
! ! Skin
! ! Snake
! ! Sin
Here I die
screaking and groaning
imploded inside
no need to hide
I am outside
can see myself roam
the mirror shows sin
still wants a new skin
biting and scraping
my mind is shaping
a mask of myself
that's totally raping
me and I see
there's no need to be
me anymore
and what I stood for.
Again I begin
to rip of my skin
forming a new
costume of sin
Again I become
a new shining sun
my old ego is
totally gone.
