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 in 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, 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 Created the end, killing a friend, I'm shedding my skin I don't think you belong in here, I feel I'm sick Don't ask because 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, everyday, 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 Created the end, 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, playtoy, 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 --- Shedding Skin - Pantera
