Dead Skin Lyrics by Crossfade

Crossfade

2004

[Verse 1]
So I'm the king of all these things
Of this mess I have made
Such a waste, what a shame
My whole life is a fake
Well I'm a bore, and I'm sure
I'm a thorn inside of you
That has torn at you for years
The alcohol, the Demerol
These things never could replace
What a minute with you could do
To put a smile on my face
I'm a bore, and I'm sure
I'm a thorn inside of you
That has torn at me for years

[Chorus]
I can't get out of this dead skin
I can't shed my skin
I'm not sure where to begin
Why can't I begin again?
I can't get under my dead skin
I can't shed my skin
Can I sleep 'till then?

[Verse 2]
Phenobarbital and alcohol
These two surely will do
To knock me out, keep me down
At least a day or two
When I'm awake, I can taste
How bitter I've become
And it's more than I can bear
Some days, I pray
Someone will blow me away
Make it quick, but let it burn
So I can feel my life fade
Well I'm a waste, and I can taste
How bitter I've become
And it's more than I can bear

[Chorus]
I can't get out of this dead skin
I can't shed my skin
I'm not sure where to begin
Why can't I begin again?
I can't get under my dead skin
I can't shed my skin
Can I sleep 'till then?

I can't shed my skin
I can't shed my skin

[Chorus]
I can't get out of this dead skin
I can't shed my skin
I'm not sure where to begin
Why can't I begin again?
I can't get under my dead skin
I can't shed my skin
Can I sleep 'till then?
