Take It Off

My past

My skin

I wear, lived in

Layered and torn

Tangled and worn

Take it off me

Take it off me

Take it off me (Take it, take it, take it, take it)

(Take it, take it, take it, take it) Shed my skin like a serpent's mold, exuviate

Pop my top like a Russian doll, strip off the paint

Loosen the edges to absolve, liberate

Drop the hammer before the fall, start again

And I can't help feeling

These walls are closing in

And I can't take it

Why don't you take it off me?

Take it off me

Take it off me (Take it, take it, take it, take it)

(Take it, take it, take it, take it) This veil and this lace

Spider silk and chiffon chains

Tied in knots with my pain

And I bend, and I moan

I can't do it alone

I can't do it alone, I can't

Take it off me

Take it off me

Take it off me (Take it, take it, take it, take it)

(Take it, take it, take it, take it) Shed my skin like a serpent's mold, exuviate

Pop my top like a Russian doll, strip off the paint

Loosen the edges to absolve, liberate

Drop the hammer before the fall, start again
