Innocence
  shed behind me the skin of what was
  before me lays the next
  not sure if im even feeling it anymore
  or if its what's left
  lurking in my shadow
  hiding in my subconscious
  im picking at my scabs
  ripping open my scars
  trying to find a piece
  trying to find a way
  i still feel you
  the more I do the less I feel of myself
  flesh nothing but a barrier
  for the muscle underneath still reacting from you
  my shell is cracking
  the image is running
  these wounds never seemed to heal right
  you still left your imprint on each one
  im left with nothing
  not even something to crawl towards
  devour me
  defecate my remains
  and regurgitate what you don't need
  i can't bare it
  you broke me for that one single moment
  does your soul not waver like mine?
  do your eyes not fill at the thought?
  how can you feel nothing yet i felt it all?
  have I created a hole in my mind to force it away?
  it picks at me
  it gnaws
  I feel it turning and tearing at me
  could I have that lapse of reason you felt?
  could I cause this in someone?
  i can't find it anymore
  the colors are dull
  the food is s***
  the music is slow
  i am left naked and afraid
  just as I was born
