flakes of skin fall from us
sink to the ground becoming dust
littering the floor they feed the mites
strip us down. strip us of sight
I - am Peeling now!
**** - this falling down
SCRATCH - away the fear
no-one sees the truth
scream away my last years
peel the epidermis away
what's left? NOTHING!!!!
blackened nails claw the skin
rend the flesh, soon blood spills
skin and blood blend with dirt
stripping away all pain and hurt
WE - are peeling now
NO - more trusting you
RIP - away the hate
they're blinded by fear
life has sucked all the joy from me
peel the epidermis away
what's left? Nothing! NOTHING!
I am NOTHING!!!
Peeling back the epidermis
take a look inside
nothing but an empty casket
ashes left to lie
underneath the epidermis
lies a man bereft
demons animate his being
of himself nothing is left.
