join in my...

join in, my child and listen

diggin' through

my old numb shadow

my shadow's

shedding skin

i've been pickin'

scabs again

i'm down

diggin' through

my old muscles, looking

for a clue

i've been crawling on my belly

clearing out what could've been

i've been wallowin' in my own confused and

insecure delusions

for a piece to cross me over

or a word to guide me in

i wanna feel the changes comin' down

i wanna know what i've been hidin'

in my shadow

my shadow

change is comin' through my shadow

my shadow's

shedding skin

i've been picking

my scabs again

join in my...

join in, my child

my shadow moves

closer to meaning

i've been crawling on my belly

clearing out what could've been

i've been wallowin' in my own chaotic

insecure delusions

i wanna feel the change consume me

feel the outside turnin' in

i wanna feel the metamorphosis and

cleansing i've endured in

my shadow

my shadow

change is comin'

now is my time

listen to my muscle memory

contemplate what i've been clinging to

forty six and two ahead of me

i

choose to live and to

grow

take and give and to

move

learn and love and to

cry

kill and die and to

be

paranoid and to

lie

hate and fear and to

do

what it takes to move through

i

choose to live and to

lie

kill and give and to

die

learn and love and to

do

what it takes to step through

see my shadow changing

stretchin' up and over me

soften this old armor

hopin' i can clear the way by

steppin' through my shadow

comin' out the other side

step into the shadow

forty six and two are just ahead of me
