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
