[Verse 1]

Viscera in the drainage

I can't bear to think about it

Going through the ages

Lock myself away until I'm down and out of it

And I'm terrified of aging

Heaven prove the mirror's the one that's wrong

I know you've never ever seen who's really me

[Chorus]

Skin, bone, fuzz, everything made to die sometime

Tragically real in the meantime

Desperately trying to shape mine, to shape mine

Time, depth, spacе, losing my real in the same placе

Body's so sore to me most days

Returning to form is a failstate, no failsafe

[Verse 2]

To watch myself become a monster

To feel my skin turn to scales

To feel my claws come in, it feels so much better than nothing changing at all

Skin starts bubbling

My form starts stretching and changing

I still don't see myself in reflections

But it's still a direction

[Chorus]

Skin, bone, fuzz, everything made to die sometime

Tragically real in the meantime

Desperately trying to shape mine, to shape mine

Time, depth, space, losing my real in the same place

Body's so sore to me most days

Returning to form is a failstate, no failsafe

[Outro]
