Lyrics

Snakeskin

I never felt comfortable in my skin I never wrote down my next of kin Kept all my troubles locked up inside me And threw away the key

I've been to the locksmith to find my soul I'm hoping it finds me before I'm old I'll shake off my troubles and change my clothes A new face for me

Gave it away, got lost one morning Today is the day, just watch me born again

Lately I'm shedding my snakeskin You know I've been changing for you lady It's time to make a fresh start It's time to make a fresh start It's time to make a

Living in a box, zoning in the red light Sickening to watch if only if the best times Bleeding woundn't stop, now it's been addressed my Snakeskin

And I hate him And I hate him

I know that I'm twice the man I was But half of exciting now I'm not lost I wanted to fly all around the world There was only space for me

I'm like a disciple I'm focused now I'm out of the cycle and won't look down I'm out of the bubble and I've changed my clothes A new place for me

Gave it away, got lost one morning Today is the day, just watch me born again

Lately, I'm shedding my snakeskin You know I've been changing for youlady It's time to make a fresh start It's time to make a fresh start It's time to make a

Lately I'm shedding my snakeskin You know I've been changing for you, baby It's time to make a fresh start It's time to make a fresh start It's time to make a

Living in a box, zoning in the red light Sickening to watch if only if the best times Bleeding woundn't stop, now it's been addressed my Snakeskin

And I hate him And I hate him And I hate him
