Shed The Second Skin

Shed The Second Skin

Hate grows colder
Detach the weight from my shoulder
Be aware of stepping back to that hole
My undressing staremakes you (s)wear on the role
Underneath – the undercurrent of smothered discontent – burns imprisoning pain
Approaching guiding light to set you loose
Freefall inside to pass the noose

Subside to my resilient dark halo
I reside in your subdued spark and make you follow
Submerge into my shadow
Collide my absorbing dark halo
I reside in your blackened heart and make you follow
I'll cover you up with my infinite shadow

Inhale, come closer
Come and listen to the whispers from a serpent tongue
Every heart beat gets you hurt and sore
Every heart beat gets you killed once more and more
Underneath the surface – smothered fire – too numb to separate the wrong from right
Truth lies naked where you don't belong
Falling back to million pieces with abysmal song

This I tell you now...
Justify my means – it makes no difference
Like pure evil in the flesh – replacing ignorance
A ghost of human soul – once kept lies
Behind my burning eyes I'm cold as ice

Inhale this perfect control, dissapear beyond your house of glass
In a blink of an eye falling through the time
I'm your insecurity – the one to shed your second skin
I will chew you up and spit you out

Now she exudes inflammable desire
Wreaking havoc with her smothered fire
Imperceptibly accelerates my time
Underneath – the undercurrent of smothered discontent – burns imprisoning pain
Truth lies naked where you don't belong
Falling back to million pieces with abysmal song

... I'm your insecurity – the one to shed your second skin
I will chew you up and spit you out...
