Kidneythieves - Layers

One by one, it stings my eyes
Each is gone, each a disguise
Smiling, so aware
Precious moments are 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 in between the lines
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 in between the lines
In the cushions of my soul I found a remote and now it’s changing time
Peeling layers, layers, layers
Escape in a drug not lasting enough
Now I just use my fingers for 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 in between the lines
In the cushions of my soul I found a remote and now it’s changing time
Peeling layers, layers, layers
