All twisted up inside A room on Sunset Strip Just waiting for the chance to get another fix I see the black ink bleed dripping from their lips A muddy existence With nowhere left to crawl Sitting here rotting in the dark I need to shed my skin Wishing I was somewhere I'm not I need to shed my skin Losing all faith in a God I need to shed my skin Feeling eaten alive I need to shed my skin You give the gold crown to the biggest fool in the room I feel the emptiness Making all the rules A machine of decay Filling up their minds Sitting here rotting in the dark I need to shed my skin Wishing I was somewhere I'm not I need to shed my skin Losing all faith in a God I need to shed my skin Feeling eaten alive I need to shed my skin I'll break it I'll take it I'm made of these scars that have taken over my bleeding parts Sinking in and shedding my scars All of my skin I'm trapped within this body When they say go When they hold back My fears come true Drowning in black Sitting here rotting in the dark I need to shed my skin Wishing I was somewhere I'm not I need to shed my skin Losing all faith in a God I need to shed my skin Feeling eaten alive I need to shed my skin I'll break it I'll take it I'm made of these scars that have taken over my bleeding parts Sinking in and shedding my scars All of my skin I'm trapped within this body
