Kidneythieves - Layers lyrics

One by one, stings my eyes

Each is gone, each a disguise

Smiling, so aware

Precious moments so rare

Boiled thoughts, evaporated - gone.

Can't bear the loss of never loving you

So jaded, so wrong

Stripping my skin over again

Back when they were teaching me to color in between the lines

In the cushion of my soul I found a remote and now it's changing time

Peeling layers, layers, layers.

Stripping my skin over again

Shivering pale, under my nails

Back when they were teaching me to color in between the lines

In the cushion of my soul I found a remote and now it's changing time

Peeling layers, layers, layers.

Escape in a drug not lasting enough

Now I just use my fingers for love

Rocked back, forth, cornered alone

Purging mind feeds a starving soul

Uncoil, unwrap, shed, scrape, peel, naked, alive, tear down -- feel.
