In My Own Skin

I don't want to feel a thing
I want nothing on my mind
and I would do anything
for some sort of sign
of how to start my life
and end this endless walk
on the edge of the knife
and the fear in the spark
of a match you lit
to set me on fire
and you watch for a bit
until I expire.
I don't want to inhale
any of your secrets
I don't want to exhale
any of my regrets.
Give yourself a rest
you're not God's gift
and you're not the best
you just made me drift
in a sea of stupidity
that you slowly dry
and everything I see
reminds me of why
I ran away years ago...
Now I can just let go
I can stop being someone else
I can start becoming myself
and live within my own skin
breathe my own air
repent my own sin
and end this nightmare...
