[INTRO] (It breathes…) A jar, pale blue, holds the inert dawn Dust motes dancing in the cold, thin light A husk of self, from the slumber drawn Stirs in the sterile, electric night [VERSE 1] The barren room makes a silent demand While dark chains burn like a coil in the hand My ghost-white fingers reach for the sand Gathering the nails to whisper my name (Whisper the name…) (Feed the flame…) [PRE-CHORUS] I don’t want it, I just need it to breathe. To feel. A shard of iron kissed to the lip. The bitter taste of longing, stark and real. (Memories breaking.) (Defying the law.) [CHORUS] Through my shadow, I am shedding the skin Crawling on my belly where the lies begin Forever digging in, through the chaos and loss To find what was buried, to pay the cost (Digging in.) (Shedding skin.) [VERSE 2] From dusty skin, a crimson thread Muscles unfurl, a monstrous dread The body swells through wires of blue Humming the cold, exposing the true Hollow skull for a different face Eyes multiplying in this mosaic space [CHORUS] Through my shadow, I am shedding the skin Crawling on my belly where the lies begin Forever digging in, through the chaos and loss To find what was buried, to pay the cost (Digging in.) (Shedding skin.)
