layers

kidneythieves

one by one

stings my eyes

each is gone

each a disguise

smiling

so aware

precious moments 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

in the cushion 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 cushion 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

uncoil

unwrap

shed

scrape

peel

naked

alive

tear down -- feel.
