SHEDDING SKIN

Lyrics

[Intro – Sung, NOT whispered] Female: Some things you can’t forget Male: Some wounds don’t disappear Female: But I’m still standing Male: I’m still here Guitar riff kicks in — straight into the verse. [Verse 1 – Male] You came in swinging, tore through our lives Took what we built, took it all in your stride Two open hearts, you saw your way in Played us for fools with that same old grin You took what you wanted, left us with the blame Walked out the door like you’d done nothing wrong But every move you made left a mark And we’ve been fighting our way back from the dark [Pre-Chorus – Female backing] You thought we’d break You thought we’d fall But you don’t know us Not at all! [Chorus – Male lead / Female backing] SHED YOUR SKIN Show them what you’re hiding underneath SHED YOUR SKIN Every lie has got a price to meet You crossed the line You took too much You messed with hearts that trusted you Now the truth is closing in And there’s nowhere left to run [Verse 2 – Male] There’s not a day I don’t think about Everything that came crashing down The lies, the drugs, the betrayal And all the damage you left behind Now you’ll find another heart to break Another person you think you can take But you’re the same snake underneath it all Just another face behind another wall [Pre-Chorus – Female backing] You thought we’d break You thought we’d fall But you don’t know us Not at all! [Chorus – Male lead / Female backing] SHED YOUR SKIN Show them what you’re hiding underneath SHED YOUR SKIN Every lie has got a price to meet You crossed the line You took too much You messed with hearts that trusted you Now the truth is closing in And there’s nowhere left to run [Bridge – Male] You can change your face You can change your name But sooner or later They’ll see the game You took our trust You took our lives But you didn’t take What kept us alive! [Guitar Solo] Short, gritty, melodic 80s rock guitar solo. [Final Chorus – Full Power] SHED YOUR SKIN Show them what you’re hiding underneath SHED YOUR SKIN Every lie has got a price to meet You crossed the line You took too much You messed with hearts that trusted you Now everybody’s gonna see Exactly who you really are! Female: Who you really are! Male: Yeah — we see you now!
