Would I have this shape?
Would I have this form?
If I had my skin for nothing
I obstruct my thoughts
To confuse my mind
To prevent decision making
I cover up my ears
And I strain my voice
To stop myself from talking
I clench my teeth
And I still my nerves
To stop myself from aching

The years slide by
Consuming the youth in me
I hold on tight
But I’m drifting away
The years go by suddenly

I constrict my reserve
And ignore my pride
To stop myself from maturing
I hold my breathe
And I hold my sides
To stop my myself from aging
I obscure my sight
And conceal my face
To stop myself from changing
Would I have this shape?
Would I have this form?
If I had my skin for nothing

Chorus

I’ll close my eyes
To think back to when
All was safe and warm
I’ll say goodbye
When I see the end
And leave the skin
That I’ve worn

Will you miss my skin for nothing?
One more touch
While I still feel something

Did I ever amount to much?
It’s a choice I face
Did I ever amount to much?
Or was it such a waist
To hate this place

Chorus
