In My Own Skin


I hate the way I feel inside
the poisons runnin' through the mind
the body's numb, and next to death
life's just a pathedic mess
I see the sickness ruling me
the pain, the darkness...vanity
I wish the end could just begin
and I could live in my own skin
but danger is my middle name
and my first and last is hate and pain
and worthlessness is bound by shame
but insanity's my favorite game
so life is like a shallow hole
a living grave, a deadened soul
the wages of this bout with sin
have left me marked, and dead within
but the past won't let my life begin
so I can't live in my own skin
