Shedding Skin

I don't want you to look at me while I'm shedding skin

I can't afford for you to see what's inside me

I'd rather shoot myself than have you watch me

I feel you'd steal my skin to try and wear me

I was betrayed, one more day of my short life

You were carried away, you had no shame, to suffocate my being

I was me but you weren't you, you were sticking to me like a scab...

So I peeled you away and bled for days then stepped out of myself

I'm shedding skin, changing within, I'm falling in

Through swollen eyes, I dreamed you died, caught inside

I'm shedding skin, spreading thin, severed stem

I created the end, I'm killing a friend, I'm shedding my skin

I don't think you belong in here, I feel I'm sick

Don't ask 'cause you know damn well where I've been

I've kept a simple woman through the thick and thin

But I've found the guts to sever from my Siamese twin

I throw you away, every day, a dead part of life

Strangling back, seething black, in between my longing for torture

Blood on my face that came from your face, a mix of kissing and bleeding

I put you away, I shut you away, I pissed you away, I threw you away

I'm shedding skin, changing within, I'm falling in

Through swollen eyes, I dreamed you died, caught inside

I'm shedding skin, spreading thin, severed stem

I created the end, I'm killing a friend, I'm shedding my skin

You're fucking and sucking

You're friendless, it's endless

Your flower has soured

It's endless, you're friendless

It's harder and stronger

But no-one's been inside you longer

And harder and deeper

To get you off, you need the fear

The fear, the fear, the fear, the fear

It's never love, bloody touch

Broken wrist, needle rust

Choking throat, swallowed teeth

Head fuck, no peace

I'm shedding my skin to peel you off of me

You've got to love me

Ornament, shrunken head

Play toy, snake strike

Poisonous, syphilis

Drenched me, soaked me

I'm shedding my skin to drain you out of me

You've got to hate me
