I’ve worn the skin of who I once was and watched it turn into something I don’t trust Every face I’ve left behind still lingers in my mind every version had its time, but none of them survived I shed the skin, I let it fall every echo, every call each one had its place but none of them remain I carry all their weight… but I am not the same I’m still here, but not the same Just bearing a different fate I can't decide which version to thank For the man, that I’ve made A thousand times a thousand lives (each one leads to an open door) I’ve worn the face of who I once was (And watched it fade into dust!) Every life I’ve left behind (each version comes undone!) I shed the skin I let them die I don't return, I don't rewind I leave them buried in their time I’ve died before and I’ll die again Nine Lives until the end Ripping away what they left in me, every scar, every painful memory and turned it into something real Every version led me here every loss made it clear every life i’ve lived before built the man that I am now I’m still here, but not the same Just bearing a different fate I can't decide which version to thank For the man, that I’ve made A thousand times a thousand lives (each one leads to an open door) I’ve worn the face of who I once was (And watched it fade into dust!) Every life I’ve left behind (each version comes undone!) I shed the skin I let them die I don't return, I don't rewind I leave them buried in their time I’ve died before and I’ll die again Nine Lives until the end I’m down here falling to pieces I need to know that I need this So I can fight to keep myself alive I’m down here falling to pieces I need to know that I need this So I can fight To keep myself Alive A thousand times a thousand lives (each one leads to an open door) I’ve worn the face of who I once was (And watched it fade into dust!) Every life I’ve left behind (each version comes undone!) I shed the skin I let them die I don't return, I don't rewind I leave them buried in their time I’ve died before and I’ll die again Nine Lives until the end
