Shed My Skin LyricsWhen 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
Day by day I’ve been chained to its consequence
One hour of sunlight outside the door
Crippled by mind numbing fear in my thoughts
Time in slow motion as the cell goes black
5000 long nights of terror that I never want back
When the warden comes to unlock the door
I’m going to put some miles between me and these walls
Stop in a silent town where my life can mend
Start again 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
