All the time we shed our skin, every day a phantom And then we hold our former self for ransom When all the time, the rising sun shines on second chances For those of us that don't take them for granted A skeleton, a closet, a corpse wrapped in carpet All those things you forgot you did, a crime scene covered in your prints Born every morning, die every night, born every day to a new life This is a gift don't throw it away, this is a gift don't throw it away The price is your life, with your life you pay, this is a gift don't throw it away
