How many times will you examine Something that's long dead Can't count how many times I've been back The decay remains the same Time passed me Can I catch me Can I leave this skin Growing pain I'm feeling Parting ways with myself Can't take another look 'cause I need to go Can't let myself let it go Will I ever be at rest Will I find a final form Will there ever be a final scene What happens when the lights go down Don't want to take the easy way You miss the point of this pain I know I need it This is a lesson Let go Birch, hazel Peeling your skin Hidden useless punishment Won't stop the bruises on your chin I know we can't go on Living as a silhouette Rooted to the spot We can't stay put yet Parting ways Shedding skin Don't be afraid to lose yourself An autopsy An exorcism Bathe my brain in a chemical bath Break from the darkness and let it be gone Let it be gone
