Shed My Skin

Lyrics

[Verse]
Skin tighter than some hand-me-down chains
Mirror haunted, same reflection, same pains
Old me a ghost living rent free in my dome
Packed a suitcase of dreams, left that house a home
[Chorus]
Left the old me out in the empty streets
Buried the past under rhythm and heartbeat
Risking the fall just to learn how to climb
New script, new page, I’m the punchline this time
[Verse 2]
Weight of the world, a backpack full of bricks
Tired of old tricks, new frames, new flicks
Jumped off a cliff, wings didn’t sprout till mid-air
Freedom smells sweet when you leave behind despair
[Bridge]
Echoes in my head, screaming who I used to be
But shadows can’t follow where light lets me see
Bet on myself, chips all in, no retreat
Even burned bridges teach the flames can be sweet
[Verse 3]
Dusty memories, silence where voices used to yell
Lost the map to myself, traded heaven for hell
But I dug through the ashes, found gold in the grime
Every step off that ledge? Redefining my prime
[Chorus]
Left the old me out in the empty streets
Buried the past under rhythm and heartbeat
Risking the fall just to learn how to climb
New script, new page, I’m the punchline this time
