Skin I Keep Shedding

Verse

Cells fall like dust on the sheet

I know the count, I know it's slow

Every night I lose a layer

I know it goes, I don't know where it goes

Pre-Chorus

Tell the skin to keep the shape

Tell the dust to stay

I know it sheds, I know it drapes

Same self, less each day

Chorus

Skin I keep shedding

Curled up on the floor

I know it's me, I know it's not

Still growing more

Verse

Old coat left in the drain

I know the pattern, I know the grain

Water carries what I don't keep

I know it's shallow, I know it's deep

Pre-Chorus

Tell the drain to hold the trace

Tell the water where it's been

I know it fades, I know the space

Fills in like skin

Chorus

Skin I keep shedding

Curled up on the floor

I know it's me, I know it's not

Still growing more

Bridge

Not the cell

Not the shed

What keeps forming

After it's dead

Chorus

Skin I keep shedding

Curled up on the floor

I know it's me, I know it's not

Still growing more
